Background A complex ventral hernia requiring abdominal wall reconstruction presents a
challenging scenario to the surgeon. The use of biologic mesh in addition to performing a …

Importance Posterior components separation (PCS) is a commonly used myofascial release
technique in ventral hernia repairs. The contribution of each release with anterior and …

Despite improved outcomes in many other areas of surgery, abdominal wall hernia
formation still complicates 11% to 50% of all laparotomies. 1–6 It remains the most common …

Component separation technique (CST) allows the mobilization of large musculofascial
flaps of the abdominal wall and was developed for the treatment of very large, primary and …

Introduction Outcomes following OVHR may be affected by type of component separation. In
this study, outcomes including QOL of patients undergoing OVHR were evaluated based on …

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transversus abdominis muscle release
(TAR) with retrorectus synthetic mesh reinforcement in a large series of complex hernia …

Complex ventral hernias remain a challenge for general surgeons despite advances in
minimally invasive surgical techniques. This study compares outcomes following Rives …

Background: Transversus abdominis release is a novel approach for myofascial
advancement in ventral hernia repair and has been hypothesized to have lower rates of …

Introduction Our goal is to show the surgical community a new technique developed by our
team for treating complex and catastrophic ventral hernias: Separation of Anatomical …
