Abstract:
Recent years have seen considerable increases in both the demand for, and complexity of, ventral hernia repairs. This has led to calls for abdominal wall surgery to become a recognized subspecialty in the United States and Europe, with some centres responding by forming specialized, multidisciplinary teams for abdominal wall reconstruction. At present, however, no Canadian city has followed suit. In this article, we outline the major arguments underlying the drive toward the centralization of complex abdominal wall services.
