ATLAS OF ABDOMINAL WALL RECONSTRUCTION: A Guide to Open Laparoscopic, Component Separation & Robotic Hernia Repair:

Atlas of Abdominal Wall Reconstruction is a comprehensive, technique-driven surgical reference grounded in a modern understanding of the abdominal wall as a dynamic, load-bearing system rather than a simple defect to be closed. The book integrates anatomy, biomechanics, imaging, mesh science, and operative strategy into a cohesive framework for managing both standard repairs and the most complex reconstructions. The opening sections establish the scientific foundation that informs operative decision-making, including: Myofascial anatomy and rectus sheath architecture Neurovascular pathways and abdominal wall perfusion Core pressure dynamics and functional biomechanics Hernia classification systems and documentation standards Preoperative planning is addressed as a critical phase of reconstruction. Dedicated chapters on imaging and mapping explain how to: Interpret CT scans for defect characterization and prior mesh identification Calculate loss of domain and volumetric ratios Use imaging to plan incision placement, mesh positioning, and component release Optimization strategies are treated as part of the operation itself, with practical guidance on: Nutritional and metabolic preparation Pulmonary and functional conditioning Smoking cessation, weight management, and risk stratification Progressive preoperative pneumoperitoneum protocols Botulinum toxin–assisted chemical component separation Mesh selection and fixation are examined in depth, providing clear frameworks for: Choosing between synthetic, biologic, and biosynthetic materials Understanding pore structure, tissue integration, and foreign body response Managing contaminated and high-risk fields Selecting fixation methods that balance durability and pain prevention Operative chapters cover the full range of contemporary abdominal wall techniques across open, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms, including: Primary and complex inguinal repairs Ventral hernia repair and retromuscular Rives-Stoppa reconstruction Anterior and posterior component separation, including TAR IPOM, eTEP access, and robotic abdominal wall reconstruction High-risk and atypical scenarios are addressed with focused, practical guidance, including: Parastomal, flank, suprapubic, and subxiphoid hernias Hernia repair in obesity and pregnancy Emergency presentations and infected mesh Enterocutaneous fistulas and open abdomen reconstruction Soft tissue management and coverage are integrated throughout, with chapters on: Diastasis recti repair and abdominoplasty principles Flap reconstruction and wound salvage Seroma prevention and postoperative complication management Chronic pain evaluation, recurrence analysis, and redo strategies A final masterclass section presents complex real-world cases, supported by: Structured case walkthroughs Standardized grading systems Preoperative checklists and operative note templates Atlas of Abdominal Wall Reconstruction is designed for surgeons who require more than procedural descriptions. It serves as a practical reference for disciplined planning, sound judgment, and durable outcomes across the full spectrum of abdominal wall surgery. Add this atlas to your surgical library and use it as a practical reference for confident decision-making in both routine and complex abdominal wall reconstruction.
