Lateral Abdominal Wall Reconstruction [PDF]
Seminars in Plastic Surgery, 2012 Lateral abdominal wall (LAW) defects can manifest as a flank hernias, myofascial laxity/bulges, or full-thickness defects. These defects are quite different from those in the anterior abdominal wall defects and the complexity and limited surgical options make repairing the LAW a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon.

Lateral Abdominal Wall Reconstruction [PDF]
Seminars in Plastic Surgery, 2018 AbstractLateral abdominal wall defects, while rare, present a more challenging problem than commonly encountered ventral defects due to the complexity of the anatomy, physiologic forces, and impact of muscle denervation. The lateral abdominal wall encompasses a large surface area ranging from the costal margin superiorly to the iliac crest inferiorly ...

Considerations in Abdominal Wall Reconstruction [PDF]
Seminars in Plastic Surgery, 2012 Reconstruction of complex defects of the central abdomen is both challenging and technically demanding for plastic surgeons. Advancements in the use of pedicle and free tissue transfer along with the use of bioprosthetic and synthetic meshes have provided for novel approaches to these complex defects.

Flap Reconstruction of the Abdominal Wall [PDF]
Seminars in Plastic Surgery, 2018 AbstractDue to the abundant and lax tissue of the abdominal wall, most ventral trunk defects are amenable to local soft tissue closure. However, when abdominal defects are accompanied by a lack of soft tissue, the surgeon faces a more complex subset of reconstructions.

Abdominal Wall Reconstruction [PDF]
Seminars in Plastic Surgery, 2018 The closure of the abdominal wall defects is a fascinating field within surgery. The combined strength of sutures and scar after simple approximation of tissues in many cases does not suffice to contain the abdominal viscera and an incisional hernia results.

Reconstruction of Complex Abdominal Wall Defects [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Surgery, 2013 Complex abdominal wall defects refer to situations where simple ventral hernia repair is not feasible because the defect is very large, there is a concomitant infection or failed previous repair attempt, or if there is not enough original skin to cover the repair.

Reconstruction of Complex Abdominal Wall Defects [PDF]
Medical Journal Armed Forces India, 2007 Reconstruction of large abdominal wall defects not amenable to primary closure remains a challenging problem. These defects result from trauma, previous surgery, infection and tumour resection. The primary objectives of abdominal wall reconstructions are to protect abdominal contents and provide functional support.
