Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
San Francisco

model

The abdominal wall consists of three layers of muscle and surrounding connective tissue, called fascia, that hold organs in place internally. Weaknesses in the fascia and muscles can occur for various reasons, but primarily are due to traumatic injuries or surgical incisions that disrupt the integrity of the abdominal wall. These weaknesses can result in a hernia. Once a hernia occurs, it can worsen over time causing degrees of medical problems including abdominal discomfort, digestive issues, bowel obstruction, fistulae, etc. At Pacific Plastic Surgery Group in San Francisco Abdominal wall reconstruction is a complex surgery that is used to aid in the correction of abdominal wall hernias. This type of surgery is usually the second planned procedure if the initial, more typical hernia repair fails.
