Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) scanning is the imaging modality of choice when planning the overall management and operative approach to complex abdominal wall hernias. Despite its availability and well-recognised benefits there are no guidelines or recommendations regarding how best to read or report such scans for this application. In this paper we aim to outline an approach to interpreting preoperative CT scans in abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR). This approach breaks up the interpretive process into 4 steps—concentrating on the hernia or hernias, any complicating features of the hernia(s), the surrounding soft tissues and the abdominopelvic cavity as a whole—and was developed as a distillation of the authors’ collective experience. We describe the key features that should be looked for at each of the four steps and the rationale for their inclusion.
