2015 Abdominal Wall Reconstruction Summit brought to you by the
Case Comprehensive Hernia Center
In this summit, the participants will be exposed to all aspects of
abdominal wall reconstructions including:
•
Minimally
•
Complex
invasive hernia repairs
open abdominal wall reconstruction techniques:
– Open (traditional) component separation
– Laparoscopic and periumbilical sparring component separation
OVERVIEW
– Posterior component separation and transversus abdominis
release (TAR)
•
Parastomal
The reconstruction of abdominal wall defects remains
one of the most challenging dilemmas facing surgeons.
Congenital, acquired or post-traumatic defects all present
unique challenges to the reconstructive surgeon. A multitude
of prosthetic materials are available to improve outcomes
in ventral hernia repair. Both synthetic and biologic meshes
have revolutionized approaches to the surgical management
of abdominal wall reconstruction. The surgeon can choose
and other difficult hernia repairs
•
Reconstructions
in the setting of infection, contamination,
enterocutaneous fistulas and loss of abdominal domain
•
Umbilical
and inguinal hernia repairs
Participants will also gain an in-depth understanding of the various
meshes and their potential advantages and disadvantages. The
benefits and limitations of the minimally invasive techniques will
be examined. Modern modifications to the traditional laparoscopic
ventral hernia repairs, including defect closure, mesh positioning
from both laparoscopic approaches and open repairs or in
devices, absorbable fixation, etc. will be discussed. This summit
certain circumstances a combination of the two. Even though
will stress detailed operative descriptions of each of the experts’
ventral hernia repair remains one of the most common
approaches to these reconstructive challenges to provide the surgeon
procedures performed, there is little consensus as to the best
valuable insight through video education and an interactive panel of
surgical technique, prosthetic material of choice or strategies
