What is The Best of Abdominal Wall Reconstruction about?

## Learning Objectives: After reviewing this article, the participant should be able to: 1. List major risk factors for hernia formation and for failure of primary repair. 2. Outline an algorithmic approach to anterior abdominal wall reconstruction based on the degree of contamination, components involved in the deficit, and width of the hernia defect. 3. Describe appropriate indications for synthetic and biological mesh products. 4. List common flaps used in anterior abdominal wall reconstruction, including functional restoration strategies. 5. Describe the current state of the art of vascularized composite tissue allotransplantation strategies for abdominal wall reconstruction. ## Summary: Plastic surgeons have an increasingly important role in abdominal wall reconstruction—from recalcitrant, large incisional hernias to complete loss of abdominal wall domain. A review of current algorithms is warranted to match evolving surgical techniques and a growing number of available implant materials. The purpose of this article is to provide an updated review of treatment strategies to provide an approach to the full spectrum of abdominal wall deficits encountered in the modern plastic su
