The re construction of abdomi nal wall defects re mains one of the most
challenging dilemmas faci ng surgeons. Conge nital, acquired or post traumatic de fe cts all prese nt
unique challenge s to the reconstructive surgeon. A multitude of prosthetic materials are available to i mprove outcomes in ventral hernia repair. Both synthetic and biologi c meshes hav e
revolutionize d appr oaches to the s urgical ma nage ment of abdomi nal wall reconstruction. The
surgeon ca n choose from both laparos copic approaches and open repairs or in certain cir cumstances a combination of the two. Even thoug h ventral hernia repair remains one of the most
common pr oce dures performed, there is little consensus a s to the best surgi cal technique, pr osthetic material of choice, or strategies to repair complex defe cts.
In this Summit, the partici pants will be e xposed to all as pects of routine and comple x abdominal
wall reconstructions incl uding:
 Minimally invasive hernia repairs
