| Περίληψη: | This article focuses on the transformative evolution of abdominal wall surgery over the past five decades, highlighting five key milestones that have redefined the field. These include the standardization of synthetic prosthetic reinforcement, exemplified by polypropylene mesh, which shifted hernia repair from tension-based closure to reinforced, reproducible techniques; the Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty that became the international standard for inguinal hernia repair; the functional restoration of the midline emphasizing biomechanical principles in reconstruction; the adoption of minimally invasive approaches such as laparoscopic and robotic surgery that improved access and recovery; and the emergence of abdominal wall surgery as a distinct subspecialty with dedicated societies, standardized classifications, and advanced training pathways. Collectively, these developments have transformed abdominal wall surgery from a routine general surgical procedure into a complex, specialized reconstructive discipline with its own academic and clinical identity.
