Minimally invasive approach in the treatment of abdominal rectus diastasis in combination with umbilical hernias (first experience of using the SCOLA technique)

Abstract

Abdominal rectus diastasis (ARD) is a very common pathology in women that occurs during pregnancy and in the postpartum period, often combined with median and umbilical hernias, which in turn leads to symptomatic and aesthetic problems. This article provides an example of the treatment of 10 women using the SCOLA technique, which allows restoring the white line of the abdomen and perform hernioplasty without penetration into the abdominal cavity.
