Abstract :
Contaminated abdominal wall defects are
always a challenge to repair. Several techniques are
described in the literature to variable outcomes. We
report a complicated case of abdominal wall abscess
secondary to perforated Meckel’s diverticulum in an
obese lady with a recurrent large ventral hernia. Such a
case was not previously reported in the literature.
Abdominal wall repair was performed using a
biosynthetic (STRATTICE™, Allergan) mesh bridge
and negative pressure wound therapy.
