ABSTRACT
Traumatic abdominal wall hernia (TAWH) is a rare form of herniation caused by blunt trauma that can lead to intestinal obstruction. This report details a rare case of delayed mechanical ileus resulting from TAWH due to an acetabular fracture. The patient was successfully treated with laparoscopic closure of the peritoneal orifice, followed by orthopaedic repair of the fracture. The presented scenario underlines the importance of timely diagnosis and interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing complex TAWH cases.
