Total Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
Archives of Surgery, 1983A patient had full-thickness loss of abdominal wall from clostridial myonecrosis. Initial care consisted of resuscitation, debridement, and transfer to a hyperbaric chamber facility. After control of sepsis, multiple enteric fistulas were managed by enterotomies, gastric and duodenal defunctionalization with closed-loop gastrojejunostomy, gastrostomy ...

Acquired defects of the abdominal wall primarily are caused by trauma, infection, ablative resection of primary or recurrent tumors, complications of surgical procedures, radiation damage, and burns. These defects can be superficial, involving only some layers of the soft tissues of the abdomen, or full-thickness, extending to the abdominal cavity.

Anterior Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2006Reconstruction of the anterior abdominal wall is based on six basic principles. First, the anatomy of the abdominal wall and adjacent donor sites must be understood clearly. This includes a complete knowledge of the neurovascular anatomy and the arc of rotation of each subunit.

The Best of Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2018Learning Objectives: After reviewing this article, the participant should be able to: 1. List major risk factors for hernia formation and for failure of primary repair. 2. Outline an algorithmic approach to anterior abdominal wall reconstruction based on the degree of contamination, components involved in the deficit, and width

Total Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1990Total abdominal wall loss results in a difficult reconstructive problem. To obtain stable, durable soft-tissue coverage and restore fascial integrity, a number of reconstructive techniques are frequently required. Use of these techniques can achieve a functional and cosmetically acceptable reconstruction.

An Algorithm for Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2000Acquired abdominal wall defects result from trauma, previous surgery, infection, and tumor resection. The correction of complex defects is a challenge to both plastic and reconstructive and general surgeons. The anatomy of the abdominal wall, as well as considerations in patient assessment and surgical planning, are discussed.

Abdominal wall reconstruction post blast injury is challenging for the reconstructive surgeon. Immediate reconstruction is rarely feasible as the war injured patient usually has concomitant intra-abdominal injuries which warrant re-exploration; thus, there has been a trend toward the “open abdomen” technique until the patient is stabilized.

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)

Abdominal wall reconstruction has become a frequently used term to describe hernia repairs that try to recreate the abdominal wall and restore function and structure. Although there has been no universally agreed-upon definition of a functional abdominal wall, many surgeons believe this involves the closure of the fascia at the midline, often with ...
