AmJSurgery Dr Luis Felipe Cabrera Vargas MD FACS MACC MACCVA herb chen Paula Ferrada MD FACS FCCM MAMSE Steven D Wexner MD, PhD Bellal Joseph Cirbosque #SoMe4Surgery Conclusion: “Despite greater patient and hernia complexity, smoking cessation appears to result in similar outcomes to never-smokers in this AWR population.” The preop setting is ideal for optimization of patient health before elective surgery. #StrongForSurgery
