Articles and insights
In this section I collect articles on abdominal wall surgery: rectus diastasis, hernias, incisional hernias, the TESAR technique and the morpho-functional approach. Each article answers a concrete question, in the language I use in the clinic: clear, verifiable and free of promises.
