title: Pre-, intra-, and postoperative sonography of the abdominal wall in patients with incisional hernias repaired via a three-layered operative suture method.
abstract: We illustrate the various sonographic (US) appearances of the abdominal wall following this type of repair, including partial and complete recurrences. Correlation is made with CT imaging. The three-layered anatomical reconstruction of an incisional hernia is described.
