This presentation examines the sonographic evaluation of anterior abdominal wall hernias, focusing on anatomical understanding of the rectus sheath, linea alba, and inguinal, umbilical, and Spigelian hernia pathways. The lecture will provide guidance on static and dynamic scanning protocols, Valsalva maneuver utility, and differentiation of hernia content. Clinical application of ultrasound in diagnosis, pre-surgical planning, and post-operative follow-up will be emphasized.
