Popis: Over 350,000 ventral hernia repairs are performed annually each year in the United States, accounting for more than $3.2 billion in costs. However, when adverse events occur during or following hernia repair, those costs increase dramatically, and patient quality of life is directly impacted. Meticulous surgical technique and judgment is necessary to avoid or reduce the risk of adverse events during hernia repair. Every hernia surgeon must know how to appropriately treat complications when they arise. Herein, this chapter details the management of intraoperative and perioperative adverse events for the Hernia Surgeon.
