DAES, Jorge  and  TELEM, Dana. The Principled Approach to Ventral Hernia Repair. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.1, pp.25-28. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.94.

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.

Keywords : hernia, ventral; abdominal wall reconstruction; surgical procedures; herniorrhaphy; surgical mesh; prostheses and implants.
