Collaborative care for complex abdominal wall cases
We work directly with general surgeons, gastroenterologists, and primary physicians to evaluate patient candidacy, plan advanced endoscopic or robotic procedures, and coordinate safe postoperative co-management.
Complex & recurrent ventral repairs
Multi-recurrent defects, loss of domain, and post-incisional failures requiring component separation.
Minimally invasive eTEP candidates
Retrorectus and preperitoneal endoscopic reconstruction with reduced postoperative pain.
Robotic abdominal reconstruction
High-precision articulated multi-quadrant procedures supported across partner centers.
Referral & case review pathway
A structured four-step intake designed for timely review of complex abdominal wall cases and direct doctor-to-doctor communication.
- Submit patient history and prior operative summaries
- Upload cross-sectional imaging (CT / MRI DICOM)
- Secure digital transmission or hospital email intake
- Surgeon-led review of defect size and loss of domain
- Assessment of previous mesh placement and tissue planes
- Direct preliminary feedback shared with referring doctor
- In-person or tele-consultation with patient
- Surgical approach selected (eTEP, robotic, or TAR)
- Preoperative optimization and hospital base assignment
- Procedure performed at Apex or Delta Hospitals
- Complete operative notes sent to referring clinician
- Long-term structural follow-up and shared recovery data
Urgent case triage and peer-to-peer discussions
