matrices (ADMs) in abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) for high-risk patients provides …

Background The optimal type of mesh for complex abdominal wall reconstruction has not
been elucidated. We hypothesized that AWRs using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) …

Background Long-term outcomes data for hernia recurrence rates after abdominal wall
reconstruction (AWR) with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) are lacking. The aim of this study …

Background: Reconstruction of the anterior abdominal wall is a complex procedure that can
be complicated by contamination, loss of domain, previous scarring or radiotherapy, and …

Background: Acellular dermal matrices have been increasingly used in abdominal wall

Background: Ventral hernia repair (VHR) is one of the most commonly performed
procedures in the United States, but studies assessing the long-term outcomes of VHR using …

Background Although controversial, the use of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) for
abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) is increasing. There are now many different ADMs …

BACKGROUND: Complex abdominal wall defects can present a significant challenge to the
reconstructive surgeon. In 2003, acellular dermal matrix (ADM) was introduced as an …

BACKGROUND: The role of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in abdominal wall reconstruction
(AWR) is unclear. The aim of this study was to review the management, complications, and …

Background: Abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) is one of the most commonly performed
