Traumatic flank hernia (TFH) is rare and prone to recurrence, which makes appropriate treatment challenging. No current guidelines define the optimal timing method of repair. Meanwhile, recent advances in laparoscopic techniques are reshaping options for TFH. A dual approach that utilizes both open methods has not previously been reported. Herein, we present successful TFH after blunt trauma. 46-year-old male patient underwent elective herniorrhaphy on hospital day 3, implantation a sublay mesh extracorporeal an onlay were performed. Such may be result feasible outcomes hemodynamically stable patients with large who strongly suspected having bowel herniation or concomitant intraperitoneal injuries. Larger studies needed assess long-term results.
