ABSTRACT

A hernia is a weakness or abnormal apertura in a defined boundary layer of abdominal wall.
CT may diagnose andominal wall, permit proper surgical therapy, and lessen the morbidity and mortality rates of these hernias. Imaging studies may also be useful in evaluating the obese patient thought to have abdominal wall hernia or other abdominal wall incisional hernias.
