Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Patient selection and pre-habilitation play an important role prior to any abdominal wall reconstruction. Once a patient meets criteria for reconstruction, the hernia defect size can be used to help guide decision-making. Here we provide a clinical algorithm for the repair of small defects (8–10 cm), medium defects (10–20 cm), and large defects (>20 cm). These recommendations, when combined with surgeon training and preference, provide an evidence-based approach to abdominal wall reconstruction.
