Open onlay ventral hernia repair is still one of the most-used surgical techniques for the repair of hernias worldwide. The robotic anterior component separation technique uses the surgeon's usual anatomical expertise on onlay mesh placement with the manipulation and advantages of minimally invasive surgery. It maintains the precepts of reestablishment the midline integrity and insertion of mesh in the preaponeurotic space, without contact with the viscera.

Study Design: This prospective, multi-institutional study evaluated P4HB VIHR in comorbid patients with CDC class I wounds.
Introduction: Hernia U was created with the objective to expand the educational landscape of abdominal wall surgery. It is an online platform where surgeons can register with no cost and subscribe for different courses. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the platform on patient management and surgical education.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effectiveness of P4HB-ST mesh in laparoscopic ventral or incisional hernia repair for patients at high risk of surgical complications.
- The primary goal was to assess surgical site occurrences needing intervention within 45 days, while secondary goals included factors like surgery time and hernia recurrence over time.
- Results showed low complications, but a notable recurrence rate of 31.7%, particularly higher in larger hernia defects, suggesting P4HB-ST mesh may be more effective for smaller hernias.
