We report the efficacy of telemedicine-based consultations for new patient preoperative evaluations related to hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction. Telemedicine is a useful modality for preoperative evaluation of new patients with hernia and advanced abdominal wall reconstruction needs. Understanding this patient population will allow us to optimize telemedicine encounters for new patients and improve access to care for patients in remote locations.
