Acute traumatic abdominal wall herniation with evisceration

What we did and why Correct answer: B CT scans of the head, cervical spine, chest, abdomen and pelvis (figure 1) were performed to determine if intracranial hemorrhage, aortic injury or cervical and thoracolumbar spine injuries were present. [...]the omentum was pulled down over the defect to protect the underlying bowel and negative pressure wound therapy placed. In addition to repairing the TAWH, exploratory laparotomy should be considered to look for associated injuries that may not be detected on CT scan, such as hollow viscous injuries.
