Description

Manual of Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (1st Edition) is a practical, technique-driven guide designed for surgeons who manage challenging abdominal wall defects. The book begins with essential foundations, including abdominal wall anatomy, functional biomechanics, preoperative imaging, patient optimization, and decision-making frameworks. It then moves into detailed operative strategies covering open and endoscopic component separation, posterior component separation, transversus abdominis release (TAR), mesh selection and positioning, myofascial advancement, flap integration, and hybrid reconstructive methods.

High-quality intraoperative photographs, clear diagrams, and step-by-step sequences illustrate how to approach large hernias, loss-of-domain cases, contaminated fields, irradiated tissues, stoma-associated defects, and recurrent repairs. The manual also outlines the use of adjunctive tools such as botulinum toxin, progressive pneumoperitoneum, and tissue expansion to increase success in complex cases.

With practical tips for minimizing wound complications, preventing recurrence, handling mesh exposure, and managing postoperative care, this book serves as a dependable reference for general surgeons, plastic surgeons, trauma surgeons, and trainees working in advanced abdominal wall reconstruction. It provides the clarity, structure, and clinical insight needed to plan, execute, and refine modern abdominal wall repair.
