Maybe: Depends on underlying illnesses, reason for loss, prior surgical procedures, degree of loss. May be able to use biologic material, sometimes combined plastic surgery with abdominal wall advancement or composite separation techniques. Surgery involves a balance of surgical risks & anticipated benefits.

Component separation: Look for a plastic surgeon and general surgeon team specializing in abdominal wall reconstruction. Techniques such as component separation can be used to repair the defect.
