Abstract

In this paper, we describe our experience in the successful use of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) and porcine dermal collagen (PDC) mesh reconstruction of a complicated contaminated abdominal wall defect resulting from a strangulated incisional hernia with late jejunal perforation in a 57-year-old obese and diabetic woman.
