Progressive pneumoperitoneum increases the length of abdominal muscles

The aim of this prospective observational study was to determine the effects of progressive preoperative pneumoperitoneum (PPP) on the size of large incisional hernia (IH) and abdominal muscles by abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan. PPP was performed in 18 patients. All IH were large. A mean vo...

Zusammenfassung:The aim of this prospective observational study was to determine the effects of progressive preoperative pneumoperitoneum (PPP) on the size of large incisional hernia (IH) and abdominal muscles by abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan. PPP was performed in 18 patients. All IH were large. A mean volume of 12.8 l was insufflated over a mean period of 14.8 days. Respectively, before and after PPP, the mean IH height and width was 117 and 130 mm ( P
