About

W. Reinpold is a leading authority in abdominal wall surgery, with a career dedicated to advancing the treatment of complex hernias. His primary research areas encompass laparoscopic and robotic hernia repair, as well as the refinement of open surgical techniques for large abdominal wall defects. Dr. Reinpold’s most significant contribution is his leadership in developing the international "Guidelines for laparoscopic treatment of ventral and incisional abdominal wall hernias" for the International Endohernia Society (IEHS). These landmark guidelines, updated in 2019, have amassed over 530 combined citations, serving as the global standard of care for surgeons. He has also been instrumental in defining training pathways for robotic abdominal wall surgery, publishing a key 2022 paper for the European Hernia Society. Furthermore, his work on the transversus abdominis muscle release technique has provided a critical, less morbid alternative for repairing massive hernias, with his 2018 paper detailing its indications and results. Through these efforts, Dr. Reinpold has profoundly shaped modern hernia surgery, improving patient outcomes and guiding surgical education worldwide.
