Background: Standard abdominoplasty rectus plication techniques may not suffice for
severe cases of rectus diastasis. In the authors' experience, prosthetic mesh facilitates the …

Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate early complications following retromuscular mesh
repair with those after dual layer suture of the anterior rectus sheath in a randomised …

Background The primary aim of this prospective, randomized, clinical, 2-armed trial was to
evaluate the risk for recurrence using 2 different operative techniques for repair of …

Background: Patients requesting abdominoplasty often have concomitant umbilical hernias
and may request simultaneous treatment. The vascularity of the umbilicus is potentially at …

BACKGROUND: Correction of rectus diastasis during abdominoplasty is controversial. Few
published studies have investigated the long-term value of plication. This prospective study …

Introduction: Patients with umbilical or epigastric hernias benefit from mesh-based repairs,
and even more so if a concomitant rectus diastasis (RD) is present. The ideal technique is …

Definitive repair of recurrent ventral hernias using abdominal wall reconstruction techniques
is an essential tool in the armentarium for general and plastic surgeons. Despite the great …

Background: In abdominal wall reconstruction, the retrorectus plane offers an ideal location
for mesh placement. Mesh fixation in this plane is often achieved using transfascial sutures …

Background: Mesh implantation during abdominal wall reconstruction decreases rates of
ventral hernia recurrence and has become the dominant method of repair. The authors …

Introduction: Recently, the promising results of new procedures for the treatment of rectus
diastasis with concomitant hernias using extraperitoneal mesh placement and anatomical …
