While commonly associated with trauma, spinal cord injury, or orthopedic procedures, abdominal incisional heterotopic ossification (AIHO) is exceedingly rare. Its pathogenesis may be closely related to local trauma, inflammatory responses, and genetic predisposition. AIHO typically occurs between 3\u2009months and 5\u2009years postoperatively, with an estimated incidence of 0.3%\u20131.2% among all HO cases. Ossified masses can compress or mechanically tether the intestines, resulting in bowel obstruction. Herein, we report a rare case of AIHO causing mechanical intestinal obstruction 20\u2009years after a hysterectomy. The diagnosis was confirmed by abdominal computed tomography, and the patient underwent successful surgical resection. We also review the literature and summarize strategies for the management and prevention of this complication.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.71947","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,18]],"date-time":"2026-03-18T03:53:32Z","timestamp":1773806012000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Case Report of Mechanical Intestinal Obstruction Caused by Delayed Heterotopic Ossification of Postoperative Incision"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Ke","family":"Xie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University  Changzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hengwei","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University  Changzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ling","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University  Changzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Honghu","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University  Changzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5518-7736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jin","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University  Changzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bone.2017.09.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jbm4.10172"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","first-page":"47","article-title":"Cicatrice Osifiante Ale Peretelui Abdominal [Ossifying Scars of the Abdominal Wall]","volume":"42","author":"Gavrielescu S.","year":"1993","journal-title":"Chirurgia (Bucur)"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4240\/wjgs.v17.i3.99015"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004836\u2010200207000\u201000016"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen\u20102022\u2010064739"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0022\u20103468(97)90641\u20102"}],"container-title":["Clinical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ccr3.71947","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/ccr3.71947","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ccr3.71947","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,26]],"date-time":"2026-03-26T06:05:32Z","timestamp":1774505132000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ccr3.71947"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,3]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ccr3.71947"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ccr3.71947","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2050-0904","2050-0904"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2050-0904","type":"print"},{"value":"2050-0904","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,3]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2025-07-08","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-01-10","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-03-17","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e71947"}}
