Abstract

We present the case of a 76 year old male, whose surgical history included a laparoscopic left hemicolectomy for colon cancer, complicated with anastomotic leakage and multiple interventions for recurrent paraostomal and midline incisional hernias, one of them resulting in intestinal perforation. Secondary wound closure with negative wound pressure therapy and skin grafts had to be applied. The patient was referred to our center as a result of a complex M1-2-3-4-5 W3 (1) incisional hernia with deep skin ulcerations and intestinal exposure.
