Chapter 84 - Part B: Hernias Explained: Congenital, Traumatic, Incisional — Same Physics, Different Stories
In this episode of BoardsCast, we continue our walk through Tobias Chapter 84 – Abdominal Wall Reconstruction and Hernias by breaking down the three major hernia categories surgeons must recognize immediately: congenital, traumatic, and incisional.
Each looks different, each behaves differently — but all follow the same biomechanical rules:
- Defect size, tension forces, and tissue quality determine success or failure.
You’ll learn:
- How congenital hernias form and why they’re often structurally weak
- Why traumatic hernias defy anatomic rules and challenge surgical planning
- How incisional hernias reveal mechanical failure—not infection or suture choice
- What tissue handling mistakes set up hernias long before they occur
- The physics behind defect enlargement and why chronic cases remodel
- How to evaluate reducibility, incarceration risk, and surgical priority
- High-yield board distinctions between types, causes, and repair principles
If you’ve ever wanted a surgeon-focused, biomechanical explanation of hernias — this is the episode.
