A “Getting It Right First Time” approach to abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) involves developing a comprehensive management pathway. The study outlines a detailed AWR pathway, integrating literature review and experiential knowledge, facilitating better patient outcomes. Referred to as the “complex hernia bundle,” this approach guides AWR teams, offering valuable insights for managing challenging hernia cases in other centers.
