Role of Botulinum Toxin-A in Chemical Component Separation Technique

Abstract

AbstractVentral incisional hernia is one of the most common log-term surgical complications after open midline surgeries and accounts for almost 20–30% of the cases [1, 2]. Repair of this incisional hernia is always challenging for general surgeons, especially for complex abdominal wall hernia (CAWH) which also have a major physical, social, and mental repercussions on patients [3]. Ramirez et al. devised a component separation technique (CST) which aims medicalization of rectus abdominis muscles by complete division of bilateral external oblique aponeurosis [4].
