Suspected incisional hernia leading to resection of rib sequestrum: a rare case report
Intercostal incisional hernias are rarely encountered post-operative complications. Bone sequestra of the ribs are similarly rare. We report a very rare case of a left sided rib bone sequestrum mimicking an incisional hernia after a nephrectomy, splenectomy, and distal pancreatectomy.
