Abdominal Hernia Surgery Practice, Evidence and Advances

The open-access book Abdominal Hernia Surgery - Practice, Evidence, and Advances contains seven chapters. It provides an overview of the anatomy of the abdominal wall, including neurovascular bundles. The book also provides a detailed description of ventral hernia defect closure techniques and intraperitoneal onlay mesh placement. Chapter 3 provides a state-of-the-art narrative of an enhanced view of the totally extraperitoneal technique for ventral hernia repair. The fourth chapter methodologically describes parastomal hernia, including its definition, classification, and guidelines for prevention and management. Post-herniorrhaphy pain, a common clinical problem, is the topic of two specialised chapters. Diagnostic and management algorithms for post-herniorrhaphy groin pain will guide surgeons in the event of adverse events associated with the surgical procedure. The last chapter describes the concept of open abdomen management. The original figures and summary tables have undoubtedly enhanced the book's value. This book is a resource for students, trainees, registered nurses, certified surgeons, and others interested in hernia science.
