Abdominal wall reconstruction
Abdominal wall reconstruction is an advanced surgical service for patients with large, complex, recurrent, or difficult abdominal wall defects. These conditions may develop after previous abdominal surgery, trauma, infection, multiple hernia repairs, or significant weakening of the abdominal muscles.
Our specialized surgical team provides individualized reconstruction using open, laparoscopic, and robotic techniques when appropriate, with the goal of restoring abdominal wall strength, function, and structural integrity.
