Jun 21st, 2022 - Telemedicine has emerged as a viable option to in-person visits for the evaluation and management of surgical patients. Increased integration of telemedicine has allowed for greater access to care for specific patient populations but relative outc...

Jun 16th, 2022 - Perioperative telemedicine use has increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and may improve access to surgical care. However, studies assessing outcomes in populations at risk for digital-health disparities are lacking. We sought to characte...

May 18th, 2022 - Concern regarding surgical trainees' operative autonomy has increased in recent years, emphasizing patient safety and preparation for independent practice. Regarding abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR), long-term outcomes of fellow autonomy have y...

May 14th, 2022 - The effect of skin closure technique on surgical site occurrences (SSO) after open abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) with retromuscular polypropylene mesh placement is largely unknown. We hypothesize that layered subcuticular skin closure with c...

May 11th, 2022 - Resection of large anterior abdominal wall tumors causes a large full-thickness abdominal wall defects, and the repair of these defects remains a challenging point. Between July 2016 and February 2021, we retrospectively reviewed the internal data...

Apr 21st, 2022 - More than 90,000 ventral hernia repairs are performed in the US annually. Large ventral hernias often require a complex abdominal wall reconstruction including creating tissue advancement flaps. Complex abdominal wall reconstructions are associate...

Apr 6th, 2022 - The study will be prospective, multicentric, single-arm, observational (non-interventional) to evaluate the safety and performance of the CELLIS membrane used in abdominal wall reconstruction including, but not limited to, ventral hernia repair an...

Feb 25th, 2022 - Restoring the physiologic tension of the abdominal wall is a key concept in abdominal wall reconstruction. Yet little is known quantitatively about the normal tension of the abdominal wall. To better understand the ideal tension for abdominal wall...

Feb 7th, 2022 - The best approach for lateral incisional hernia is not known. Posterior component separation (reverse TAR) offers the possibility of using the retromuscular space for medial extension of the challenging preperitoneal plane. The main objective of t...

Jan 3rd, 2022 - Myofascial component separation techniques are purported to reduce tension in abdominal wall reconstruction, but few objective data exist regarding tension reduction with posterior component separation (PCS) techniques. PCS techniques include seve...

May 30th, 2018 - A new protocol cut venous thromboembolism events by almost half in patients who underwent major abdominal wall reconstruction, according to a recent analysis. Why is the attrition rate for general surgery residents so high? It's possible that resi...

May 29th, 2018 - Sarcopenia was not associated with increased complications or recurrence in patients who had ventral hernia repair, according to findings from a prospective, single-institution study. Steve R.

Jun 19th, 2016 - Readmissions within 90 days occurred in 16% of the control group and 4% of the ERAS group – a significant difference. There were four surgical site complications in the control group and three in the ERAS group.
