• We do not have the ideal ventral hernia repair yet.
• Mesh has not been the ultimate solution to this problem.
• Tension free repair might not be appropriate for the abdominal wall
• Is the linea alba a tendon?

Approaches to Tendon Repair
SurgerySurgerySurgerySurgery
Objectives of a ventral hernia repair• Prevent hernia contents from protruding through
hernia orifice• Provide durable repair with low recurrence rate• Perform the procedure safely with minimal patient
morbidity• Reduce postoperative wound complications and
mesh infections• Reconstruct a functional dynamic abdominal wall,
with medialization of the rectus muscles
SurgerySurgerySurgerySurgery
Technical Objectives of Ventral Hernia Repair
• Gain access to the re-operative abdomen• Perform adhesiolysis without enterotomy• Expose entire hernia defect• Repair defect
– Tissue based repair– Mesh based repair– Combination
SurgerySurgerySurgerySurgery
Primary Repair
• Unacceptably high recurrence

Is there a better way to create a functional abdominal wall using minimally invasive hernia repair
techniques?
SurgerySurgerySurgerySurgery
Objectives of Functional Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
• Medialization of the Rectus Muscle
• Durable repair
• Minimal wound morbidity

Conclusions• There are many options for reconstructing the
abdominal wall.• The concept of bringing the rectus muscles
back together in most patients makes sense• Minimally invasive component separation is a
reasonable option and might be beneficial when used earlier in the treatment algorithm.

Conclusions• Everyone does NOT need a functional dynamic
abdominal wall– Obese– Elderly
• Some people do DESERVE a functional dynamic abdominal wall– Young– Thin– Active, Manual Labor
