is more robust in the epigastrium, and the developing ap is less likely to tear. Similarly, a suprapubic docking strategy can be employed for epigastric hernias.
After adhesiolysis, the peritoneum is scored at least 5cm from the hernia defect. By previously measuring the width of an open robotic instrument, the surgeon can closely estimate this distance. Alternatively, a ruler is placed inside the abdomen for precise measurement. The peritoneal ap is extended to be 5cm wider than the defect on each side. Unlike inguinal hernia repair—where the peritoneal fat is dis­sected free anteriorly from the preperitoneal ap—keeping the fat posteriorly with the ap assists in maintaining the ap integrity. Indeed, this dissection occurs most easily at midline where there is more preperitoneal fat. The hernia sac is reduced, and the preperitoneal space developed approximately 5cm around the edges of the hernia defect. The hernia defect and dissected spaces are then measured with a ruler. Debate exists regarding the optimal suture to close the defect. Some surgeons favor permanent suture to, theoretically, reduce the risk of recurrence. Chronic pain and infectious concerns lead other surgeons to prefer slowly absorbable suture. Generally, a running, barbed suture is utilized to close the fascial defect. Mesh is placed into the preperitoneal space to cover the defect by 5cm in all directions. Many surgeons choose to secure the mesh to the posterior rectus sheath to prevent migration. This can be accomplished by placing transfacial sutures or by suturing with the robot. In theory, avoiding transfascial sutures decreases post-operative pain, without sacricing efcacy in terms of hernia recurrence. Some surgeons forego any mesh xation when placed in the preperitoneal space or opt for mini­mum xation with surgical glue. Finally, a running, often barbed, absorbable suture is used to close the peritoneal ap. It is critical to close any defects that may be present in the ap to prevent short-term complications of interparietal hernia and long-term complications of bowel adhesions to mesh (Fig.8).
In the event that the surgeon is not able to develop the preperitoneal ap an IPUM may be performed with a coated mesh.

3 Mesh Considerations
Available studies and meta-analyses of mesh VHR are difcult to interpret due to variable techniques, mesh types and positions as well as the xation methods used by surgeons [17]. A full review of all types of mesh is outside the scope of this chapter. We will review the pertinent and common mesh types and optimal traits for those used in VHR in the preperitoneal space and underlay position.
The type of mesh used for VHR can impact outcomes, but often the surgeon’s experience and training—or the options available in the operating room—dictate the type of mesh used for VHR.Mesh characteristics include composition, synthetic vs biologic, permanent vs absorbable, monolament vs multilament, pore size, weight, and tensile strength. Non-absorbable synthetic mesh is most commonly made of polypropylene, expanded polytetrauoroethylene (ePTFE), or polyester. Absorbable synthetic mesh is commonly made from poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) or polyglycolide [18]. Tensile strength of the mesh, based on mesh weight, a function of polymer weight and pore size, is important to consider in VHR.Heavy weight mesh, although high in tensile strength, are more prone to chronic pain, for­eign body reaction, brosis, and shrinkage [19]. Light-weight mesh, with large pores, has less tensile strength but are more elastic and allow for ingrowth of tissue through the pores, resulting in satisfactory mechanical strength while having lower risk of chronic pain, as seen with inguinal hernia repairs [20]. Recurrence, however, may be higher for light weight mesh. This may not be generalizable to ventral her­nia repair, but it’s something for the surgeon to consider. Biologic mesh can be produced from porcine small intestine submucosa, human acellular dermis, xeno­genic acellular dermis or bovine pericardium [18]. Biologic mesh is an extracellular matrix that acts as a scaffold for scar tissue during VHR.Most VHR with mesh use permanent prosthetic material but absorbable synthetic and biologic mesh material may be favorable in contaminated operative elds, or when permanent mesh is sub­optimal. There are cost considerations, however, as biologic mesh and some of the newer bioresorbable meshes can be much more expensive than a synthetic perma­nent mesh.
Intraperitoneal underlay mesh should have an anti-adhesions barrier due to the risk of bowel adhesions to synthetic uncoated mesh, leading to infection, perfora­tion, obstruction or stula formation. For smaller ventral hernias repaired via an open technique, there are several commercially available composite mesh systems available, including Parietex™ (Medtronic, plc), Proceed® Ventral patch (Ethicon, Inc.), C-QUR V-patch (Atrium, Inc) and Ventralex ST patch (Bard, Inc). These gen­erally have different sizes available depending on the size of the hernia defect and planned overlap. These can be placed in the preperitoneal space or intraperitoneal in the underlay position. Using coated mesh in the preperitoneal space is generally acceptable but some data show increased risk of infection requiring IV antibiotics [21]. An uncoated mesh is most commonly utilized in the preperitoneal space as these are typically very cost effective and ingrowth is desired, which may be impeded by an adhesive barrier in the short term. An example would be Ventralex

Hernia Patch (Bard, Inc). In laparoscopic IPUM, a coated mesh is used and unrolled over the defect; some systems are equipped with a positioning system that deploys the mesh against the abdominal wall such as Ventralight Echo (Bard, Inc.).
4 Summary
Pre-peritoneal and underlay ventral hernia techniques are very common and any surgeon performing hernia repairs should be familiar with them. There are many techniques that can be deployed to achieve this including open, laparoscopic, and robotic. The choice of which depends on many variables including patient factors, hernia characteristics, equipment availability, surgeon skill, and cost. Utilization of the pre-peritoneal space may have some advantages, including avoiding intra­abdominal mesh placement. Ultimately, the best hernia repair is one that is skillfully performed, adheres to best practices in hernia repair, and provides the patient the best outcome.

1 Preoperative Evaluation andPreoperative Pathways
Postoperative success in hernia repair often hinges on thoughtful preoperative plan­ning. Patients commonly present with a variety of symptoms which can range from functional limitations related to the hernia to gastrointestinal complications. It is vital to perform a thorough review of their medical and surgical history in order to appropriately risk-stratify patients and to determine if further optimization of modi­able risk factors is necessary. Optimization may provide an opportunity to enhance outcomes and overcome the vicious cycle of hernia recurrence that many patients nd themselves within, particularly those undergoing complex reconstruction of the abdominal wall or presenting with multi-recurrent hernias [1]. Preoperative optimi­zation is often a multi-disciplinary endeavor and requires patience by both the sur­geon and the patient. Factors such as poorly controlled diabetes, active smoking, and morbid obesity have all been associated with higher rates of perioperative com­plications, which may contribute to the burden of recurrence, and are key endpoints in preoperative optimization programs for many hernia centers.
While optimizing risk factors for surgery, it is imperative to review the patient’s surgical history to understand the impact prior operations may have had on the operative approaches available for hernia repair. Review of surgical records, in par­ticular if prior hernia repairs have been performed, will clue a surgeon into specic

challenges that may be encountered during the next hernia repair attempt. Finally, review of cross-sectional imaging is often necessary to evaluate intraabdominal and hernia anatomy, to understand neurovascular injuries to the abdominal wall, and to determine safe approaches for repair.
Many hernia centers are now utilizing enhanced recovery protocols to standardize patient care and reduce variation in outcomes. Preoperative management of patients includes giving oral acetaminophen, celecoxib, and gabapentin, and administering DVT prophylaxis. Epidurals and regional blocks (e.g., erecter spinae catheters, trans­versus plane blocks) are utilized selectively. The next sections will review advanced techniques in the repair of complex ventral hernias. Though the focus will primarily be for the open approach, it should be noted that these reconstruction techniques are now performed via endoscopic, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted approaches.

2 Retrorectus Repair
Retrorectus ventral hernia repair, which is derived from techniques popularized by Rives and Stoppa for giant prosthetic reinforcement of the visceral sac, has long been considered the standard by which all ventral hernia repairs are measured [2]. This repair utilizes mesh placed in a sublay position between the rectus abdominis muscle and the posterior rectus sheath [3].
The patient is placed supine with arms abducted. The abdominal wall is widely prepped and draped with the use of an iodine-impregnated antimicrobial drape. The boney prominences and prior scars are all marked and the operation is initiated via a midline laparotomy. It is imperative to review the cross-sectional imaging preop­eratively to identify safe entry points into the abdominal cavity. Upon identication of the anterior fascia, Kocher clamps are placed on the fascia and the linea alba is incised. We favor entering the abdomen cephalad to the defect to allow for entry into the natural preperitoneal fat pad associated with the falciform ligament, however other entry points may be utilized for patients with prior laparotomy scars that extend to the xiphoid process. The incision is extended and the abdominal cavity is entered. A thorough lysis of adhesions is performed of the viscera to the anterior abdominal wall. For patients who are presenting with chronic bowel obstructions independent of the hernia sac, it is important to thoroughly lyse all adhesions to assure no points of obstructions are missed. Bowel resections may be required and do not preclude the possibility of performing a concurrent abdominal wall recon­struction [4]. It is vital to ensure all adhesive attachments to intraabdominal viscera, including the liver, are released, to minimize complications from myofascial release.
Upon completion of adhesiolysis, abdominal wall reconstruction will be initi­ated. The viscera are protected by using a moistened extra-large countable towel that is placed to span both pericolic gutters transversely and extended from the subxiphoid to the suprapubic space. Upon excluding the viscera, a retromuscular dissection is initiated. Kocher clamps are applied to the linea alba and hernia sac medially and the surgeon works on the contralateral retrorectus dissection. The pos­terior sheath is grasped with toothed forceps and retracted away from the muscle

belly. Electrocautery is used to incise the posterior sheath roughly 1cm from the linea alba (Fig.1). Upon identifying the underside of the rectus abdominis, the sur­geon will transition to a dissecting instrument to expose the posterior sheath, retract­ing it away from the muscle, allowing the assistant to open the plane using electrocautery. The posterior sheath is dissociated from the linea alba along the length of the laparotomy. Care is taken to ensure that the entire length of the hernia defect is fully addressed. Next, Kocher clamps are applied to the cut edge of the posterior sheath to allow for counter-traction of the tissue from the anterior sheath and rectus muscle complex. The areolar tissue plane is exposed and dissected, tak­ing care to avoid injury to the neurovascular bundles and epigastric vasculature. The retrorectus dissection is extended to the semilunar line, which is identied by the neurovascular bundles and which marks the lateral extent of a standard retrorectus repair. A comparable dissection is completed on the contralateral retrorectus space.
Unication of the retrorectus dissection across the linea alba is then accom­plished both cephalad and caudad to the defect. For centrally located hernias, this frequently means incising the posterior sheath and entering the preperitoneal space associated with the falciform ligament. However, for hernias that extend to the xiphoid process, this will often require a preperitoneal dissection that extends to the subdiaphragmatic space and exposes the central tendon of the diaphragm (Fig.2).

Caudad, the dissection will usually enter the retropubic and retroinguinal preperito­neal compartment and expose the myopectineal orices bilaterally (Fig.3). Upon completion of the retrorectus dissection, tension related to closure of both the pos­terior and anterior fascial layers is assessed. Myofascial advancement is considered when the anterior fascia is unable to be closed without undue tension. For posterior sheath defects with tension that would preclude safe closure, autologous tissue (e.g., omentum, hernia sac), absorbable coated meshes, and other techniques have been described. In general, myofascial releases should be avoided for the sake of reap­proximating posterior fascial defects.
Upon completion of the dissection, the abdominal wall closure is initiated. The posterior sheath is rst addressed. Some surgeons will advocate for reapproxmia­tion of the medial edges of the posterior sheaths to one another, while others will close the peritoneum centrally. Regardless, the visceral sac should be closed and inspected for any fenestrations. We will typically use a braided polyglactin suture or an absorbable barbed suture on a small-bore needle to close the posterior sheath and visceral sac (Fig. 4). Small fenestrations are typically closed with interrupted stitches in a gure-of-eight fashion. Prior to completion, the previously placed

countable towel is removed. Upon closure of the visceral sac, the retromuscular space is irrigated with saline and hemostasis is achieved. Antibiotic solutions are sometimes used by surgeons, though data related to the efcacy of antibiotic irriga­tion is limited [5]. The space is measured and a macroporous polypropylene mesh is cut to accommodate the entire retromuscular dissection. Mesh xation strategies are well described and included the use of quilting sutures, transfascial sutures, and/ or chemical xation with brin sealants [6]. We prefer the efciency of brin seal­ants, which we apply as an epoxy to the mesh-visceral sac complex, thereby fortify­ing the closure and theoretically ofoading tension that may result in posterior sheath dehiscence (Fig.5). Closed suction drains can be utilized selectively for the retrorectus space, with the author’s preference being 19-French channel drains that are passed through the abdominal wall with a trocar. The drain serves to reduce the potential of a retained hematoma and increases the mesh-tissue interface in the early postoperative period.
Next, the anterior sheath and linea alba are reconstructed. Prior to fascial closure, Kocher clamps are applied to the diastatic tissue and hernia sac. The assistant will retract these Kochers anteriorly and the linea alba is identied. Electrocautery is used to excise the poor-quality tissue (Fig.6). A similar process is completed on the
