Outcomes of Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction with Biologic Mesh in Patients with 8 Years of Follow-Up.

Background: While many studies evaluated outcomes of abdominal wall reconstruction with biologic mesh, long-term data is lacking. In this study, we sought to analyze the outcomes of complex AWR with biologic mesh in a robust cohort of patients with a mean follow up of 8 years.

Methods: We conducted a longitudinal study of AWR patients from 2005 to 2019.

Outcomes of Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction After Oncologic Resection: 14-Year Experience at an NCI-Designated Cancer Center.

Background: Outcomes studies for abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) in the setting of previous oncologic extirpation are lacking. We sought to evaluate long-term outcomes of AWR using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) after extirpative resection, compare them to primary herniorrhaphy, and report the rates and predictors of postoperative complications.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent AWR after oncologic resection from March 2005 to June 2019 at a tertiary cancer center.
