Standardization of ventral hernia repair remains elusive. Surgeons use a plethora of techniques, tools, and technology to repair similar defects. Nevertheless, evidence-based principles exist that should be applied to all repairs irrespective of technique allowing standardization and improved outcomes. Six principles are proposed as the basis for complex abdominal wall reconstruction.
: hernia, ventral; abdominal wall reconstruction; surgical procedures; herniorrhaphy; surgical mesh; prostheses and implants.
