A Traumatic Direct Inguinal Hernia from Pelvic Ring Disruption.
Kevin L ChowEduardo Smith-SingaresJames DohertyPublished in: Case reports in surgery (2018)
This is a unique presentation of a TIH due to an open-book pelvic fracture after blunt abdominal trauma. The formation of TAWH is typically from a combination of local tangential shearing forces and a sudden rise in intraabdominal pressures damaging the muscle, fascia, and peritoneum while the skin remains intact. In patients without hollow viscous injuries and gross contamination, these hernias can be repaired safely with mesh in the acute setting simultaneously with pelvic reduction.
