Dr. O. Sridhar Babu, Dr. N. S. Vidya
Abstract :
Abdominal wall lesions often mimic intra–abdominal conditions and frequently present as palpable masses. Early detection of these pathology with use of high resolution USG and other cross sectional imaging has evolutionized the treatment options for the surgeons. So the aim of the study to determine role of high resolution sonography in the evaluation of anterior abdominal wall lesions. Methodology: The present study is a study of 50 cases of anterior abdominal wall lesions were evaluated using high resolution Ultrasonography with high frequency linear array probe. (7–12 MHZ) and diagnostic accuracy were determined. Results: Among 50 clinical suspected Anterior Abdominal wall lesions most common indication for high resolution sonography was incisional hernia, followed by anterior abdominal wall lump which is relatively a non–specific clinical diagnosis, which later turned out be different lesions on high resolution sonography as well as histopathology. We found lipomas in 4 cases out of 50cases (8%) correlated with histopathological finding.Conclusion : In our study design diagnostic accuracy of sonography was 97.6% in evaluation of hernias, lipomas, desmoid, dermoid, hematoma and resolving abscess. We felt multidisciplinary approach involving physicians / surgeons, radiologists and pathologists for betterment of the patients to diagnose anterior abdominal wall lesions accurately and for further surgical management.
