Abdominal Wall Reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing defects or weaknesses in the abdominal wall. This can be due to trauma, previous surgery, or a hernia.
The procedure involves using tissue flaps, mesh, or synthetic materials to restore the integrity and function of the abdominal wall. Abdominal wall reconstruction is often necessary for patients with large or recurrent hernias or those who have experienced complications from previous surgeries.
Postoperative care includes managing pain, preventing infection, and gradually returning to normal activities. Patients are typically advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities to ensure proper healing.
Abdominal wall reconstruction is a vital procedure for patients with severe abdominal wall defects, providing long-term relief and improving quality of life.
