Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1980
The four deforming elements of the anterior abdominal wall--obesity, intestinal distension, gravitation, and muscular diastasis (the abdominal wall tetrad)--are described. The first two belong to medicine, and the last two to the surgeon's skill. Four degrees of deformity are described.

Abdominal wall defects in foetuses include gastroschisis, exomphalos, bladder exstrophy complex, cloacal exstrophy and body stalk syndrome. The defects that occur more commonly are gastroschisis and exomphalos. In this review we assess the current evidence regarding the incidence, perinatal risk factors, antenatal and postnatal management and outcome ...

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1996
Abdominal wall hernias are usually asymptomatic, discovered incidentally on physical examination. Emergency physicians, however, may be called on to deal with the potential life-threatening complications of abdominal wall hernias. This article discusses the anatomy, pathophysiology, and specific types of hernias in the adult and pediatric patient ...

The frequent use of prenatal diagnostic techniques including ultrasound and maternal serum alpha‐fetoprotein has increasingly led to detection of abdominal wall defects before birth. This prenatal detection creates the opportunity to influence neonatal outcome by alteration in management of pregnancy or delivery. The optimal management of an individual

The diagnosis of abdominal wall endometriomas is often confused with other surgical conditions.A retrospective study was made of 12 patients presenting with an abdominal wall mass, which proved to be endometrioma.Of a total of 297 patients of endometriosis treated in our hospital over a 7-year period, 12 (4%) had isolated abdominal wall endometriomas ...

Endometriosis of the Abdominal Wall
Southern Medical Journal, 1990Endometriosis of the abdominal wall typically occurs as a painful mass in a lower abdominal incision from previous cesarean section or hysterectomy. Most patients are young and in their active reproductive years. The histologic diagnosis requires a combination of either endometrial-like glands, endometrial stroma, or hemosiderin pigment.

It is customary to consider the abdomen and pelvis separately but in many ways this is artificial since their walls, contents and cavities are continuous with each other. Their upper and lower limits are muscular. Above, where the abdominal cavity extends upwards within the rib cage, the diaphragm separates the abdominal from the thoracic cavity ...

Repair of Abdominal Wall Hernias with Restoration of Abdominal Wall Function
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2010Our operative approach to the repair of abdominal wall hernias has changed tremendously over the last two decades based on our ongoing insight into the etiopathogenesis of their development. For instance, 20 years ago, use of alloplastic prosthetic material in the repair of direct inguinal hernias was rare, but currently, the accepted standard of care ...

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2006
Acquired defects of the abdominal wall primarily are caused by trauma, infection, ablative resection of primary or recurrent tumors, complications of surgical procedures, radiation damage, and burns. These defects can be superficial, involving only some layers of the soft tissues of the abdomen, or full-thickness, extending to the abdominal cavity.
