Ventral Abdominal Hernia with Loss of Domain on Physical Exam - Dr. Luis Felipe Cabrera Vargas @PipeCabreraV Large hernias can be very challenging surgically. "Loss of domain" (LOD) is where 50 % of the abdominal viscera reside outside the abdominal cavity. Loss of domain expresses the relationship between hernia and abdominal volume, and is used to predict operative difficulty and success.⠀ #Ventral #Hernia #Abdominal #LossOfDomain #PhysicalExam #clinical #video
