Abstract

Endoscopic component separation provides a minimally invasive approach to obtain myofascial advancement during abdominal wall reconstruction. It involves utilization of standard laparoscopic instrumentation, endoscopic balloon dissectors, and standard hernia repair techniques. The primary advantage of the endoscopic approach is that it does not violate the blood supply to the anterior abdominal wall skin and therefore significantly reduces wound morbidity.
