What Is Abdominal Wall Reconstruction?
Abdominal wall reconstruction, particularly using the enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach, is a sophisticated surgical technique designed to repair complex hernias and restore the integrity of the abdominal wall. This method is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced multiple hernias or have large defects in the abdominal area. The eTEP technique is one approach that involves addressing the hernia site through minimally invasive incisions within the abdomen wall, allowing your Mountain West Surgical Specialists surgeon to work in an enhanced visual field and reduce the risk of complications. This approach reinforces the abdominal wall with synthetic mesh, leading to improved outcomes and reduced recurrence rates. Abdominal wall reconstruction via eTEP is an innovative option for those needing a comprehensive solution to severe or recurrent abdominal hernias.

How Is Abdominal Wall Reconstruction Performed?
The eTEP approach for abdominal wall reconstruction is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure begins with the surgeon making several small incisions along on the abdomen. Using specialized instruments and a camera, the surgeon gains access to a space within the abdominal wall. This method provides an enhanced view of the hernia and surrounding structures. The surgeon then carefully repairs the wall and places a synthetic mesh to cover the closed hernia defects and reinforce the abdominal wall. The natural tissue integrates with the mesh over time. This minimally invasive approach has several benefits.
What Are the Benefits of the eTEP Surgical Technique?
The eTEP approach for abdominal wall reconstruction offers significant advantages over traditional surgical methods. This innovative technique provides improved outcomes for patients dealing with complex or recurrent hernias. Here are some key benefits of the eTEP approach:
- Minimized surgical trauma
- Lower risk of complications
- Enhanced visualization
- Reduced post-operative pain
- Quicker recovery
- Improved cosmetic results
