Surgeons can enhance their skills in posterior component separation with new consensus-driven anatomical insights.

• An expert panel developed a framework that outlines key anatomical concepts and operative steps for posterior component separation.
• The structured guide includes comprehensive dissection techniques, such as classic top-down and Madrid modification methods.

Understanding these fundamentals is crucial for successful surgeries and improving patient outcomes in increasingly complex abdominal wall reconstructions.

• Cadaver workshops were integral for refining the educational content, ensuring practical application of the anatomy learned.
