Case description

This video was part of the Video Loop during the SAGES 2020 Virtual Meeting. Topic: Hernia Robotic Repair of a Traumatic Abdominal Wall Hernia. Ramses Saavedra, MD, Heidi Miller, MD. University of New Mexico School of Medicine. Traumatic abdominal wall hernias are a relatively uncommon complication after blunt trauma. Our patient is a 63-year-old male complaining of bilateral inguinal hernia pain approximately 1 year after a fall from a ladder leading to a disruption of his pubic symphysis requiring surgical repair. Though planned for a robotic bilateral inguinal hernia repair with mesh, intraoperatively he was found to have a traumatic blow-out of the left inguinal region as well as ventral incisional hernia. In this video, our approach to repair is shown.
