This is a 61 years old male with history of multiple abdominal surgeries for placement of the gastrostomy and jejunostomy feeding tubes in the past. He recently required another feeding tube due to recurrent inability to tolerate the oral diet and significant malnutrition.
Abdominal wall hernia is a common surgical problem. Hernia is a defect in the abdominal wall. Therefore, the content of the abdominal cavity could potentially protrude through this defect causing an abdominal wall bulge with on and off pain and discomfort especially during activity and straining. The hernias could be congenital or acquired and could get larger and more symptomatic by time.
