Abstract: Repair for traumatic abdominal wall defect(TAWD) is a complex subject to be investigated. No consensus in the management of the subject has currently been reached, and the individualized treatment is performed based on TAWD. There are four kinds of type in repair of TAWD according to characteristics of the defect: (1) repair of traumatic full abdo-minal wall defect, (2) immediate repair of traumatic abdominal wall myofascial defect, (3) delayed repair of TAWD, (4) manage-ment of abdominal open following traumatic abdominal compartment syndrome. The concept and practice of treatment for TAWD will be gradually improved and perfect with development of new techniques and materials.
