High rate of incisional hernia observed after mass closure of burst abdomen

T. K. Jensen et al.

Summary: The study investigated the long-term development of incisional hernia after a standardized surgical treatment strategy for burst abdomen. Using a slow absorbable running suture in a mass-closure technique resulted in high rates of long-term incisional hernias, comparable to those reported in the literature for this patient group.

Normal width of the linea alba, prevalence, and risk factors for diastasis recti abdominis in adults, a cross-sectional study

R. L. Kaufmann et al.

Summary: This study revealed a higher prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) than commonly estimated, with 57% of the population having DRA. The definition of DRA may need to be revised to avoid over-treatment.

Effects of the short-stitch technique for midline abdominal closure: short-term results from the randomised-controlled ESTOIH trial

M. Albertsmeier et al.

Summary: The study compared short-stitch and long-stitch techniques for midline laparotomy closure using an ultra-long-term absorbable elastic suture material. While no significant difference in short-term outcomes was found between the two techniques, there was a trend towards a lower rate of burst abdomen in the short-stitch group, suggesting a possible advantage of this technique.

Use of a bioabsorbable mesh in midline laparotomy closure to prevent incisional hernia: randomized controlled trial

S. Valverde et al.

Summary: The study showed that using a bioabsorbable mesh combined with continuous PDS suture for closure of midline laparotomy incision significantly reduced the incidence of incisional hernia in the first year. However, the long-term effectiveness was not conclusive, suggesting that the closing technique may only have a temporary effect in preventing incisional hernias.

Standardized Surgical Primary Repair for Burst Abdomen Reduces the Risk of Fascial Redehiscence

Thomas K. Jensen et al.

Summary: Burst abdomen is a common complication after abdominal surgery. The study found that standardized surgical primary repair can reduce the rate of fascial redehiscence, with no significant impact on 30- and 90-day mortality rates.

Management of Diastasis of the Rectus Abdominis Muscles: Recommendations for Swedish National Guidelines

A. Carlstedt et al.

Summary: The consensus document provides diagnostic and treatment criteria for diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscle, including clinical examination, imaging diagnostics, physiotherapy as the primary treatment, and surgical intervention in cases of functional impairment. The primary surgical technique recommended is plication of the linea alba.

The male rectus diastasis: a different concept?

S. W. Nienhuijs et al.

Summary: Research on male rectus diastasis reveals gender differences in etiology, symptoms, classification, and treatment. However, awareness and study outcomes for male rectus diastasis are still limited.

Prophylactic sublay non-absorbable mesh positioning following midline laparotomy in a clean-contaminated field: randomized clinical trial (PROMETHEUS)

F. Pizza et al.

Summary: Prophylactic mesh-augmented abdominal wall closure after urgent laparotomy in clean-contaminated wounds is safe and effective in reducing the incidence of incisional hernia. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed for further validation.
