In this thoroughly revised and expanded edition of the highly praised publication, a team of international experts in the field of hernia surgery detail their unique perspective, knowledge and insights into the full spectrum of procedures and controversies in the field. This edition boasts a comprehensive line-up of chapters on robotic repairs of inguinal and ventral hernia repairs. Furthermore, the popularity of extraperitoneal ventral hernia repairs has skyrocketed since the previous edition was published, and those repairs are extensively covered. Finally, the book contains a unique section on responsible adoption of novel and complex open, laparoscopic, and robotic repairs of vartious hernias.

The second edition of Hernia Surgery: Current Principles continues to serve as a state-of-the-art reference in the rapidly changing field of hernia surgery. The text once again presents the full spectrum of modern options, with a particular emphasis on treatment algorithms for patient optimization, as well as material and technique selections. With contributions by key opinion leaders in the field of general and plastic surgery, this book describes the latest trends and detailed technical modifications from routine to the most complex of hernia scenarios. The reader will gain unique insights into a wide spectrum of hernia issues, including clinical anatomy and physiology of the abdominal-pelvic wall, various open, laparoscopic and robotic approaches, anterior and posterior component separations, parastomal, flank, suprapubic and other difficult hernia repairs, reconstructions in the setting of infection, contamination, enterocutaneous fistulas and loss of abdominal wall domain. In addition, important contributions from key reconstructive plastic surgeons detail modern trends for how to deal with complex skin and soft tissue challenges, including concurrent panniculectomies, diastasis recti, tissue expanders and flaps. The section on inguinal hernia repair has been expanded to include the entire range of options.

Overall, this book provides unparalleled step-by-step instructions to perform both routine and complex repairs by using not only vivid illustrations, but also by highlighting operative details through intra-operative color figures and photographs from today's top hernia surgeons.

Comprehensive, up-to-date reference on modern trends in mesh science and technique selections for hernia surgery A full spectrum of current options for routine repairs and complex reconstructions of abdominal wall defects Written by an international array of thought leaders in hernia surgery
