Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Complex abdominal wall hernias represent a significant reconstructive challenge to the general surgeon. In patients with loss of abdominal domain, standard surgical techniques such as anterior component separation or transversus abdominus muscle release may not allow for primary fascial closure. In complex ventral wall hernias, visceroabdominal disproportion may need to be addressed prior to an attempt at hernia repair. Tissue expanders placed in the intermuscular space is a novel technique used to increase intraabdominal volume and safely allow reduction of viscera with subsequent closure of the myofascia. We present the case of an adult patient with complications of an untreated congenital omphalocele who underwent a successful two stage operation using tissue expanders in the abdominal wall combined with anterior component separation.
