The aim is to assess current principles and strategies involved in abdominal wall reconstruction to improve outcomes.
Narrative literature review of abdominal wall reconstruction techniques and outcomes.
Evaluation of anatomical considerations, risk factors, and surgical strategies.
Analysis of mesh materials and their effectiveness in diverse situations.
Complex structural properties of the abdominal wall affect surgical outcomes.
Ventral and incisional hernias are the primary conditions necessitating reconstruction, with obesity and comorbidities worsening results.
Preoperative optimization is essential, with retrorectus mesh placement resulting in the lowest recurrence rates compared to onlay techniques.
