Book cover Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of the Abdomen

  • 2129 Accesses

Abstract

In performing abdominal repair, the surgeon should have good knowledge of the abdominal wall anatomy. The author discusses in detail the anatomy of the abdominal wall and the surgical approaches to reconstruct the abdominal wall with a large hernia with mesh with open surgery, laparoscopic method, component separation technique, and the various meshes available. Clinical cases are described.
