This practical, go-to reference by Drs. Losken and Janis will
provide you with the tools you need when addressing a host of
abdominal wall problems, ranging from simple to complex hernia
repair and abdominal wall reconstruction. It provides information
on the latest developments in mesh and biologic materials and their
applications for abdominal hernia repair as well as step-by-step
surgical technique for ensuring successful outcomes in all types of
abdominal wall reconstruction. Advances in Abdominal Wall
Reconstruction presents the range of current options available for
surgical repair in a systematic fashion. Treatment options and
algorithms provide readers with insights into choices for
approaching different problems. Strategies for minimizing morbidity
and for avoiding recurrences are also discussed in detail as are
helpful tips and tricks and safe and reliable options for dealing
with complex problems. New techniques are described along with the
evidence-based data on outcomes and numerous case examples to
reinforce important concepts. Potential problems and pitfalls are
thoroughly covered to help surgeons avoid potential complications.
Although the main focus of this book is on surgical technique, it
also discusses basic principles, etiology of abdominal defects,
organizations strategies and outcomes. A DVD with 3 operative
videos complements the book. The editors have put together an
imminently helpful work which should prove invaluable for a broad
range of surgical specialties. They are assisted by a
multi-disciplinary group of leading experts and pioneers in surgery
and plastic surgery. The book is divided into three parts. The
first part focuses on fundamentals with essential chapters devoted
to abdominal wall anatomy, hernia defect classification, abdominal
wound care and synthetic meshes, and tissue biologics for abdominal
wall reconstruction. Parts II and III are devoted to various types
of abdominal wall reconstruction as well as simple and complex
hernia repair using synthetic meshes and biologics. Chapters within
these sections are clinical and technique-oriented, with ample
illustrations and photos depicting the different surgical
approaches. A key chapter in this section focuses on "Anatomic
Components Separation: Applications and Advances in Technique."
This simple, reliable technique is one of the most exciting, recent
advances in abdominal wall reconstruction. Another hot topic
covered in depth in several comprehensive chapters is that of
biologics in complex abdominal wall repair; these materials have
revolutionized abdominal wall reconstruction. Critical chapters are
included on the science behind biologics as well as specific
techniques for using them. Other cutting-edge topics include:
laparoscopic hernia repair and management of parastomal hernias,
enterocutaneous fistulas, postoperative abdominal bulges (a common,
challenging problem), and recurrent ventral abdominal hernias, to
name a few. An exciting chapter on abdominal wall transplantation
gives readers insight into promising new developments and what lies
on the horizon in abdominal wall reconstruction. Hot Topics
