PMID: 35284471
Purpose: The successful repair of any complex ventral hernia requires a thorough understanding of the underlying anatomical defect and its functional context. We describe an improved "functional" approach to CT...

PMID: 31566297
Background: Laparoscopic ventral repair is safe, with lower wound infection rates compared with open repair. 'Venetian blinds' technique of plication in combination with mesh reinforcement, is totally intra-corporeal, with hernia...

32(5):2474-2479.
PMID: 29264755
Background: Component separation (CS) is a technique which mobilizes flaps of innervated, vascularized tissue, enabling closure of large ventral hernia defects using autologous tissue. Disadvantages include extensive tissue dissection when...

Surg Endosc
. 2017 Jul;
32(2):831-839.
PMID: 28733748
Introduction: Operative management of complex ventral hernia still remains a significant challenge for surgeons. Closure of large defects in the unprepared abdomen has serious pathophysiological consequences due to chronic contraction...
