Venen- und intragastrale Druckmessungen bei plastisch-chirurgischer Korrektur von Bauchwanddefekten1

Abstract Our own experiences with venous and intragastral pressure measurements when correcting abdominal wall defects and their consecutive symptoms are shown. The exact measurement of pressure in the V. cava inf. is a good method for the assessment of the intraabdominal pressure ratios. The intragastral pressure measurement is demonstrated as an alternative measuring technique. As a non-invasive method, it is without risk; it is easy to perform and correlates with the intra-abdominal pressure.
