Watch On Demand
Left untreated, ventral hernias can significantly affect an individual’s quality of life by causing pain, impairing function and in some cases, creating a disfiguring bulge. Ventral hernia patients are also at risk for emergency surgery because of the potential for incarceration and strangulation of the abdominal contents.
The goal of ventral hernia surgery is to repair the defect in the abdominal wall so that the intestine and other abdominal tissue cannot bulge through the wall again. Each year, surgeons perform upwards of 350,000 ventral hernia operations in the U.S.
In this video tool kit for ventral hernia repair, you’ll see experienced surgeons perform a range of techniques using SurgiMend®, a biologically derived matrix indicated for soft tissue repair and reconstruction.
Watch surgical videos on:
- Bilateral Anterior Component Separation Full Technique
- Intraperitoneal SurgiMend® Repair with Bilateral Anterior Component Separation
- Onlay SurgiMend® Fascial Reinforcement
- Transverse Abdominis Release (TAR) Technique
Presenting surgeons include:
John Fischer, MD, MPH
Director of Clinical Research Program, Division of Plastic Surgery
University of Pennsylvania & the Presbyterian Medical Center of Philadelphia
David E. Rivadeneira, MD, MBA, FACS, FASCRS
General Surgeon, Colon and Rectal Surgeon
Vice Chair, Surgical Strategic Initiatives, Northwell Health System
Indications
SurgiMend is intended for implantation to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists and for surgical repair of damaged or ruptured soft tissue membranes.
SurgiMend is specifically indicated for:
- Plastic and reconstructive surgery.
- Muscle flap reinforcement.
- Hernia repair including abdominal, inguinal, femoral, diaphragmatic, scrotal, umbilical, and incisional hernias.
