Abstract
An extensive abdominal wall defect is rare but severe trauma. Here, we have described the case of a male patient in his 20s who sustained extensive abdominal wall injury and intra-abdominal organ damage after being caught in a noodle stirring machine. We used ABTHERA as a substitute for a defective abdominal wall, achieved open abdominal management and temporary closure of a wide abdominal wall defect, and performed staged reconstruction surgery.
