Abstract:

Compared to simple abdominal wall hernia, the diagnosis and treatment of complex abdominal wall hernia faces more surgical and perioperative risks. The anatomical and biomechanical changes of complex abdominal wall hernia play a crucial role in its occurrence and progression, and its development is related to various factors, such as loss of tissue integrity, sustained stretching of abdominal wall tissue, loss of abdominal domain, and complications. The interaction of these factors contributes to the difficulty in perioperative management of complex abdominal wall hernias. Therefore, clarifying the mechanism of complex abdominal wall hernia is of great significance for the diagnosis, treatment, and patient management of this disease. At present, there is still a lack of relevant research. This article reviews and summarizes the anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of complex abdominal wall hernias, in order to provide reference for future research.

Key words: Complex abdominal wall hernia, Anatomy, Biomechanics, Tissue integrity
