Background: Incarcerated abdominal wall hernias may have a variety of manifestations and the most dreaded consequence is strangulation leading to obstruction and perforation of hollow viscus. Very rarely, such a perforation presents with fistulization into the abdominal wall and skin, which is often not considered but may complicate the management approach.
Case presentation: We reported on presentation and management of a 56-year-old morbidly obese male with a fistulizing incarcerated ventral wall hernia and postoperative abdominal wall necrosis.
Discussion: Contained bowel perforations caused by ventral hernia incarceration are a rare and not well recognized problem and are confined to a handful of case reports in the surgical literature.
Conclusion: The most recognized complications of ventral hernias are incarceration and strangulation leading to obstruction and consequent perforation; however, as the case described below reveals, intestinal perforation and bowel-skin fistulization may occur as unusual incident. Management should involve operative reduction, resection of the involved bowel and staged repair of abdominal wall defect.
