Abstract in brief

Multidetector row CT is especially useful for detailed imaging of abdominal wall hernias, whether they are unrepaired or after surgery, helping to accurately identify the hernias, their contents, and distinguish them from other abdominal masses.
Common complications of hernias include strangulation, incarceration, infection, fluid collections, and issues related to prosthetic materials, which can be detected using advanced CT imaging.
Understanding CT features of hernias and their complications is crucial for proper diagnosis, guiding treatment decisions, and improving communication between radiologists and clinicians.]
