USA vs. UK: ASGBI Ep. 10 - The Nuanced Approach to Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

In this episode, we discuss all things abdominal wall reconstruction. What is this new developing field, just patching “holes” with meshes or something more? We delve into the impact of the robot in transforming this speciality in new ways. We also explore the reasons that make the field of abdominal wall reconstruction so special (the creativity in surgical planning and the unique patient-provider relationship).

Joining BTK fellow Agnes Premkumar and ASGBI hosts Elizabeth McLellan and Gita Lingam are Dr. Conrad Ballecer and Dr. Akash Mehta. Dr. Conrad Ballecer is an internationally renowned minimally invasive surgeon, focused on abdominal wall reconstruction. He currently works at Creighton University in Phoenix with complex hernias and frequently publicizes his surgical videos for education! Mr. Mehta is a consultant colorectal surgeon at St. Mark’s Hospital in London, United Kingdom. He is interested in intestinal failure and rehabilitation surgery. He is also the lead for the region's abdominal wall multidisciplinary team and has successfully established a minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery program.

This episode is dedicated to Professor Neil Smart, a visionary surgeon from the UK who was a lifelong advocate for hernia surgery and patients. His legacy lives on.

Let us know what you think! And be on the lookout for more ASGBI/BTK collaborative episodes.
