we have different options in order to repair the
fascia:
– Tissue-suture repairs (Herniorrhaphy):
(a) Simple primary suture
This technique is based on the
tissue- suture repair of the fascia
Fig. 29.4 Hernia defect
Fig. 29.5 Tissue primary suture
(Fig. 29.5 and Video 29.1), usually
performed with nonabsorbable suture,
but we may use as well long-acting
absorbable sutures; monolament,
multilament or barbed in a continuous or interrupted suture. Additionally,
the defect closure may be vertical or

horizontal [16]. Furthermore, the size
of the suture is 1/0 or 2/0, depending
on the magnitude of the defect. The
main disadvantage of this technique is
that it implies tension of the tissues, so
it is related to a higher rate of
recurrence.
(b) Mayo repair
This repair consists in overlapping
2–3cm the abdominal wall fascia in a
“vest-over-pants” manner with two
rows of sutures [18].
(c) Keel technique
This is an uncommon technique,
which uses two-layered of suture
inverting the medial part of the rectus
sheath and suturing both sides.
– Prosthetic repairs (Hernioplasty):
These techniques require more surgical
time than the herniorrhaphies due to the
ap dissection and the mesh reinforcement
[19]. This reinforcement may be performed
with absorbable or nonabsorbable suture.
Whenever we close the fascia, we utilize
nonabsorbable monolament suture, 2/0 or
1/0 depending on the size of the defect.
Afterward, we place a polypropylene mesh
and x it to the fascia with 2/0 nonabsorbable monolament suture. It is also important to make a repair without tension,
overlapping the defect at least 5cm with
the mesh. Mesh can be placed in different
locations (Fig.29.6) with or without closing the defect.

Fig. 29.7 Preaponeurotic/onlay mesh
(a) Preaponeurotic (Onlay mesh)
A wide subcutaneous dissection is
performed in order to place the mesh
(Fig. 29.7), with an increased rate of
seroma and/or hematoma in the postoperative period leading to more surgical site infection [1]. When there is a
large ap dissection, a drainage is usually placed in order to reduce the
seroma, increasing the postoperative
hospital stay [19].
(b) Fascial layer (xed to the ring, inlay
technique)
When the fascial defect is wide, we
can place the mesh covering the defect
and xing it to the ring, instead of
closing the edges with tension.
Usually, the peritoneum is closed
under the mesh avoiding the contact
with the viscera. If this is not possible,
there are new bilayer devices that have
been designed for this type of repairs.
The mesh has a double side: one is
polypropylene and the other is a nonadherent material that may be in contact with viscera. The main
disadvantages are that these meshes
are expensive, and they have a high
recurrence rate [20].
(c) Retromuscular technique (Sublay
mesh)
C. Tuero et al.
Fig. 29.8 Retromuscular dissection with posterior rectus
sheath closed
This technique requires more surgical experience, especially when the
neck of the hernia is narrow. Sublay
mesh avoids a wide subcutaneous dissection and reduces the hematoma and
seroma formation. The dissection is
performed behind the rectus muscle
and above the posterior rectus sheath
(Fig. 29.8). The peritoneum and the
posterior sheath are sutured, and then
place the mesh. Afterward, suturing the
anterior rectus sheath is recommended.
(d) Preperitoneal technique (Sublay mesh)
Placing a preperitoneal mesh also
requires surgical experience and it is a
longer procedure due to the wide dissection performed. This repair, as the
retromuscular one, has a low rate of
seroma and hematoma, because there
is no subcutaneous dissection. If we
suspect that the peritoneum is open,
we should close it with continue suture
before placing the mesh. Suturing the
posterior and anterior rectus sheath is
also recommended.
(e) Mesh plug
The mesh is inserted inside the
defect. It is a simple technique, but
there is scant literature comparing this
repair to others. It is known that mesh
plug implies a higher risk of migration
and enterocutaneous stula formation.

– Laparoscopic technique
There are several procedures, but laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh
(IPOM) is the laparoscopic repair most
performed worldwide.
IPOM starts creating pneumoperitoneum in the left subcostal margin, and
afterward, placing three trocars on the left
ank. After exploring the abdominal cavity, the hernia is identied, and the sac
reduced. Before placing the mesh, the hernia defect is measured to assure the size of
the prothesis. Then, a special mesh that
allows contact with abdominal viscera is
located covering the defect with an overlap
of 5cm at least. The mesh is usually xed
with absorbable tuckers.
29.1.5.3 Technical Tips toImprove
Outcomes andAvoid
Complications
Mesh repair is usually the elected treatment due
to the lower recurrence rate in comparison with
herniorrhaphy [21]. The recurrence after simpletissue repair was 11% compared with 1% when
mesh was used [22]. When the hernia is over
2 cm, prothesis repair is the elective treatment
and furthermore, the latest literature also recommends the use of mesh when the hernia is <2cm
[23]. A recent RCT concluded that at mesh is
preferable than patch repair with lower recurrence and complication rate [24].
About wound infection and complications
related to umbilical hernia repair, there is no evidence that the use of mesh is related to a higher
morbidity rate [21, 22].
Regarding the type of mesh, standard polypropylene is the most frequently used. This prothesis
is suitable for repairs when the peritoneum is
closed and there is no contact with the viscera.
Light-weight meshes are increasing its use,
because this technology induces less foreignbody response, allowing a better tissue incorporation [1, 25].
29.1.6 Postoperative Care
The discharge is usually on the same day as the
operation. We recommend avoiding heavy lifting
and physical work for a month and start walking
as soon as possible. It is possible to have tightness or pain on the rst few days, that will gradually disappear, and it can be managed with
painkillers. Sometimes, when there is a wide dissection, a drain is placed, which is normally
removed around 5–7days after surgery.
Regarding the wound, bruising and tenderness
is normal on the rst few days. The stitches
should be removed 10days after surgery. Some
lotions will help in healing the wound; besides,
sun protection of the scar is recommended on the
rst year after surgery.
29.1.7 Outcomes andPrognosis
This surgery has relatively good outcomes, with
low recurrence rate and scarce complications. As
we mentioned before, recurrence is higher in
repairs without mesh, besides, long-term followup results have found that periumbilical pain is
more prevalent with herniorrhaphies.
29.1.8 Complications
The most prevalent complications are large
seroma, bleeding in the immediate postoperative
period, wound infection, and recurrence of the
hernia.
Bleeding in the postoperative period may be
avoided with a careful hemostasis during the
intervention; we need to assure a correct bleeding
control in order to avoid emergency reinterventions during immediate postoperative period. The
emergency reintervention is related to an increase
rate of wound infection. Furthermore, seroma
formation may be prevented with the compartmentalization of the subcutaneous tissue during

486
https://t.me/medicina_free
C. Tuero et al.
the closure by xating it to the fascia with a midterm absorbable multilament suture. Regarding
wound infection, it should be prevented with a
chary asepsis and with the administration of a
single dose of antibiotic (Cefazoline 2g one dose
during anesthetic induction). Furthermore, laparoscopic approach has lower wound infection
rate compared to open approach. However, laparoscopic technique has risks related to intraperitoneal foreign body. Besides, tucker xation of
the mesh may cause postoperative pain, adhesions, nerve injury or bowel obstruction.
The main risk factors for recurrence are: large
seroma, surgical site infection, smoking, ascites,
diabetes, hernia size >2cm, obesity with a BMI
over 30kg/m

and excessive weight gain follow-
ing repair [1, 26].
29.1.9 Conclusions
Umbilical hernia repair is a simple procedure
with low complications rate. It is important to
diagnose this entity and be able to determine
when is the best moment to perform the surgery,
overall in fertile women.
We have to avoid emergency surgery related to
incarcerated or strangulated hernia, because mortality and morbidity are increased. Sometimes,
bowel resection is needed; instead, elective surgery gives satisfying results and a low rate of
morbidity with no mortality associated.
Take-Home Points
• Hernioplasty is the elective procedure for
umbilical hernia repair with low recurrence
rate and low morbidity associated.
• Placing a mesh is recommended even when
the defect is small (<2cm).
• About mesh location, at mesh has better out-
comes than patch repair and preperitoneal
position performed better.
• Women planning or during pregnancy with
small and asymptomatic hernias should
undergo surgery after childbirth, preferably
1year after.
• Women planning pregnancy with large or
symptomatic hernias should undergo surgery
and wait 1year until pregnancy.
• Women during pregnancy with large and
symptomatic hernias may undergo surgery
during the second trimester.
• Irreducible hernia should undergo emergency
repair even during pregnancy.
29.2 Rectus Abdominis Diastasis
29.2.1 Introduction
Rectus muscles are normally fused in the midline
with an approximate distance of 1 or 2 cm
between them, forming the linea alba. This linea
reaches from the xiphoid process to the pubic
symphysis varying its width, which is higher in
the periumbilical area [27].
A diastasis of the abdominal rectus (RAD) is
an acquired condition characterized by a midline
abdominal wall protrusion when the intraabdominal pressure increases. This pathology
appears due to the laxity of the ventral abdomen
musculature and the widening of the linea alba
and may be measured by the inter-recti distance
(IRD) [28].
Sometimes this entity is misclassied as a pri-
mary or a ventral hernia, but the continuity of the
midline is preserved, so there is no fascial defect
[3]. However, this weakness of the abdominal
wall is a risk factor for the development of midline hernias due to the deterioration of the connective tissue. A 45% of patients with umbilical
and/or epigastric hernias had concomitant RAD
[29].
29.2.2 Patient Selection
RAD can be congenital or acquired and may
occur in male and female and in a wide range of
ages. We have normally two different prole of
patients: middle-aged and older men with central
obesity and t young women with normal BMI
with a history of pregnancies.

29 Abdominal Wall Restoration
https://t.me/medicina_free
487
RAD in pregnancy appears mostly in the third
trimester and remains until the rst week following childbirth [30]. This appearance is due to hormonal changes, the increased intra- abdominal
pressure, and the increase in the uterus size.
Other risk factors for the development of RAD
are previous abdominal interventions, body
weight-loss related to diet or bariatric surgery,
high age, and genetically conditioned defects in
collagen structure [31, 32].
Some studies describe a relationship with
abdominal aortic aneurysm with a higher prevalence in this population (67% versus 17%) [33].

29.2.2.1 Normal Values ofInter-recti
Distance (IRD)
There are few studies dening the normal width
of the linea alba, which varies regarding the reference location. The rst of all, published by
Rath etal. in 1996 (Table29.2), concludes that
this line is widest at the umbilicus, and in people
over 45 years, this linea increases above and
under the umbilicus 5 mm; conversely, the
umbilical area is not affected by age [34].
Afterward, Beer etal. measured the linea alba in
150 nulliparous women with ultrasound at three
different positions: at the xiphoid, 3cm above
the umbilicus, and 2 cm below the umbilicus
(Table 29.3). They considered normal values
between the tenth and the 90th percentile, which

were the following distances: 15 mm at the
xiphoid, 22mm above the umbilicus and 16mm
below the umbilicus [27].
Mota et al., also measured the linea alba at
three different locations (2cm below the umbilicus and 2 and 5cm above the umbilicus) in four
time points: pregnancy weeks 35–41, 6th, 12th
and 24th week postpartum. They conclude that in
primiparous women, the IRD may be considered
normal up to values wider than for nulliparous
women because the values for IRD obtained were
higher than in nulliparous women [35]. We have
another classication made by Nahas etal. based
on the myofascial deformity and the etiology
(Table29.4) [36].
The reported prevalence of DRA or increased
IRD varies and may be inaccurate due to the few
studies, the different cut-off points for the diagnosis and the lack of consensus on the best measurement location. However, based on Beer
study, we consider there is a diastasis when the
distance between the two rectus muscles is over
2.2cm.

29.2.2.2 Prevalence ofRAD
inPregnancy
The incidence of RAD is higher at the third trimester and in the puerperium and resolves gradually in the postpartum period with individual
variability [30, 37, 38], a 33% of women still
have RAD at 12months postpartum [32].

488
https://t.me/medicina_free
C. Tuero et al.
The female pattern of DRA is focused on the
umbilicus, but it can be extended supraumbilical
and infraumbilical. The prevalence is higher
above the umbilicus than below [31, 38]. These
results are due to the anatomical disposition of
the rectus sheath; the area of change is located at
the arcuate line. Above this line there is only an
anterior layer formed by the aponeuroses of the
external and internal obliques and the transverse
preventing rectus separation.
Regarding the number of pregnancies, Rett
et al. concluded that, RAD above the umbilicus
has similar prevalence between primipara and
multipara, however, RAD below is most prevalent
in multipara, with a signicant difference [39].
29.2.2.3 RAD Classication
In 2019, the German Hernia Society and the
International Endohernia Society established a
classication in order to assess and unify RAD
treatment [40].This classication includes
1. Length of the rectus diastasis, based on the
European Hernia Society Classication [2]:
(a) Subxiphoidal (M1)
(b) Epigastric (M2)
(c) Umbilical (M3)
(d) Infraumbilical (M4)
(e) Suprapubic (M5)
2. Width based on Ranney’s classication [41]
(a) W1 <3cm
(b) W2 3–5cm
(c) W3 >5cm
3. Previous abdominal surgery within the width
and length of the RAD
4. Concomitant hernias (epigastric, umbilical,
post-incisional)
5. Number of pregnancies
6. Skin condition (skin laxity and skin folds)
7. Methods of diagnosis (clinical, calipers, ultra-
sound, TC)
8. Severity and localization of preoperative pain
ally appears standing and also when the
intra-abdominal pressure increases and reduces
its size with the decubitus.
It has also been postulated that the diastasis
may alter trunk mechanics, compromise pelvic
stability, and change posture, increasing the risk
of low back and pelvic girdle pain [42, 43]. Some
authors have found a moderate positive and signicant association between RAD and lumbopelvic pain and between RAD and fecal incontinence
and pelvic organ prolapse [37, 44].
29.2.3.2 Diagnosis
The main diagnosis is clinical, based on a physical examination, but the ultrasound and calipers
are an adequate method to assess the diagnosis.
Ultrasonography is an accurate technique to measure RAD above the umbilicus and at the umbilical level [45, 46]. Besides, it is simple, noninvasive
and it can be repeated many times. The main
drawback is that this procedure depends on the
radiology skills [27]. Ultrasound has replaced CT
as the method of choice, due to the expense and
the radiation exposure.
Regarding surgery planication, the most
important entity we have to discard is a concomitant midline hernia. In obese patients, where
physical exploration is more problematic, a CT
before surgery should be performed.
29.2.4 Anesthetic Considerations
Anesthetic considerations about rectus abdominis diastasis are the same as the ones mentioned
before regarding umbilical hernia. We can perform regional or general anesthesia and in case of
choosing the later, add a TAP blockage in order
to reduce painkillers intake. There is still no consensus regarding the best choice, but both seem
adequate alternatives. When the repair is performed through laparoscopic approach, general
anesthesia is required.
29.2.3 Preoperative Evaluation
29.2.3.1 Physical Examination
The most frequent presentation is an asymptomatic fusiform bulge above the umbilicus. It usu-

resuming the indications or comparing the different surgical techniques. Besides, there are scant
studies with high scientic quality.
We have to consider that RAD is not a true
hernia; so, there is no risk of strangulation. That
is why most patients undergo conservative treatment, and surgery is mainly performed due to
cosmetic reasons, severe functional impairment,
or when there is a concomitant hernia.
Conservative management based on exercise
and weight loss is usually the rst management
step. Sometimes the help of a physiotherapist is
required, with some training programs [42].
Numerous exercise regimens have been
described, but an accepted protocol for therapeutic exercises has not been published so far. These
exercises are focused on strengthening the rectus
muscles. There is a nonsurgical 18-week program named “The Tupler Technique.” This program consists ofwearing an abdominal splint,
which helps to repair the connective tissue by
relieving the pressure on the zone [47].
Several papers have found an improvement on
RAD with exercise [42, 48], showing that pregnant women who underwent exercises after delivery had signicantly lower RAD compared to
sedentary women (12.5% vs 90%) [49]. But,
some authors, instead, do not nd any signicant
differences between groups who underwent exercise program and sedentary ones [50].
Another technique that has also been described
is the neuromuscular electrical stimulation. This
procedure ameliorates the DRAM in postnatal
women and, when combined with exercise, its
effect increases [51].
Physiotherapy achieves a limited improvement in the size of the diastasis and its symptoms.
Surgery, instead, signicantly improves pain and
abdominal wall function. Physiotherapy should
be an alternative in patients who are unable to
undergo surgery, and overall, an addition to surgical intervention in order to achieve a satisfying
functional outcome [52].
29.2.5.1 Patient Positioning
Similar to umbilical hernia surgery, there is no
special arrangement. The patient is placed in the
operating table mattress in supine position, with
arms open, and xed to avoid shifting although
no angulation of the table is usually required.
29.2.5.2 Procedures Step by Step
In symptomatic patients, when conservative
treatment is not enough or the diastasis is wider
than 3 cm, surgery is the elective treatment.
Sometimes, there is no correlation between the
clinical features and the site of widest diastasis.
In many patients, the site of highest abdominal
protrusion does not correlate with the biggest
IRD, so the decision whether or not undergo surgery is more inuenced by the upright examination of the patient [28].
Regarding surgery, there are different
approaches varying from the type of suture, the
use of mesh, the number of layers of suture, etc.
A review performed with 1591 patients did not
nd any signicant differences between surgical
procedures [52].
When there is excess skin, rectus plication is
combined with abdominoplasty, but a systematic review performed with both techniques
concluded that most evidence is of low quality
and RCT are required to make some conclusions [53]. When there is no excess skin, surgery may be performed through open,
laparoscopic or hybrid approach. Notably, the
main indications for surgery are cosmetic reasons, but the 85% of surgical interventions are
open procedures [52].
29.2.5.3 Surgical Technique
– Open approach
– Open repair begins with a phannenstiel inci-
sion, with a superior ap dissection toward
xiphoidal process (Fig. 29.9). If we do not
associate an abdominoplasty to the rectus pli-
cation, the incision may also be performed on
the midline. However, better esthetical results
are obtained with the phannenstiel incision.
When the ap is dissected, we mark the rectus
sheath with a purple line (Fig.29.10) in order
to signalize the suture path.
– Once the dissection is performed, the repair
may vary. When the RAD is mild to moderate,
suture plication alone is a good option
(Fig.29.11 and Video 29.2). Meanwhile, if the

Fig. 29.11 Rectus abdominis plication
C. Tuero et al.
RAD is moderate to severe, we can plicate the
rectus sheath and place a mesh.
1. Tissue-Suture Repair
An RCT comparing two-layer linea
alba plication versus one layer using nonabsorbable suture found no differences
regarding outcomes, but did nd a recurrence rate of 33% when barbed suture was
used [54].
(a) Simple suture
In this technique, the anterior
sheath of the abdominis rectus is
sutured in a single-continuous layer
with slow-absorbable suture or a permanent one. The length of the closure
goes from de xiphoidal process to
2cm above the pubic symphysis.
(b) Two-layer technique
The two-layer repair is based on
one absorbable interrupted suture and
over it a running continuous for further
reinforcement and bury the knots from
the rst layer [55].
2. Repair with mesh
(a) Preaponeurotic (onlay mesh)
The mesh is usually placed over the
rectus anterior sheath, covering the
whole abdominal wall: from the costal
margin to the pubic symphysis and
until the anterior axillar line bilaterally. It is xed with absorbable suture
or tuckers.
(b) Rives (Retrorectus repair)
In this technique, a dissection
behind the rectus is performed separating it from its posterior sheath, in order
to put the mesh retrorectal. Before
placing the mesh, we can plicate the
posterior sheath in the midline and
afterward, suture as well the anterior
sheath. The main disadvantage of this
procedure is the risk of developing an
incisional hernia due to the opening of
the anterior rectus sheath.
The current literature evidence is not
enough to determine which technique is better, but there is an RCT that concludes that

29 Abdominal Wall Restoration
https://t.me/medicina_free
491
absorbable midline plication was as efcient
as nonabsorbable [56].
– Laparoscopic technique
Minimally invasive procedures are recommended when skin removal is not necessary
[57]. There are several approaches, from
hybrid to robotic going through laparoscopic
[57]. These techniques are not frequently
used, because they are technically difcult,
and they require advanced laparoscopic surgical skills. The placement of the trocars changes
depending on the type of the procedure, but
they are usually placed suprapubic and
periumbilical.
– ELAR (endoscopic-assisted linea alba recon-
struction): This hybrid procedure consists of
performing and umbilical skin incision with a
cranial extension of 2–3 cm. The space
between the subcutaneous tissue and the anterior rectus sheath is widely dissected.
Afterward, the anterior rectus sheath is open at
2cm from the medial margin till the xyphoid
process. Then, this anterior sheath is sutured
with continuous, nonabsorbable suture and a
mesh is placed above. The mesh is sutured to
the incision margin of the anterior rectus
sheath with continuous suture. After the procedure, it is recommended to locate a redon
and also to wear binders for 6weeks after the
operation [58].
– THT (Endolaparoscopic reconstruction of the
abdominal wall midline with linear stapler):
Two trocars are placed to create pneumoperitoneum and discard or remove adhesions to
the abdominal wall. Afterward, an umbilical
incision is performed, the umbilicus is disinserted, and the anterior fascia of the two rectus
abdominis is open. The space is dissected,
leaves the rectus muscles laterally, and each
branch of an endostapler is inserted inside
each sheath of the rectus in cranial direction.
Then a second stapler charge is used and once
we have enough space, we can insert a single
port access and continue the section with the
staplers cranially, up to the costal margin.
Then, we can place a mesh and create pneu-
moperitoneum again to check the correct execution of the surgery [59].
– eTEP (extended totally extraperitoneal
repair): This technique starts placing an epigastric trocar on the left side to insert the camera and dissect the retrorectus space. Once
dissected, the camera is shifted to the right
epigastric side to dissect the contralateral retrorectus area. Afterward, two more trocars are
placed and the diastasis is sutured. A medium
weight macroporous polypropylene mesh is
placed, and no xation is usually needed.
29.2.5.4 Surgical Modications:
Umbilical Hernia
Concomitant withRectus
Abdominis Diastasis
Rectus divarication and concomitant umbilical
hernia are often associated and consequently,
they need a combined repair. Most patients are
women with a normal BMI in a good physical
shape handicapped by the bulge and the weakness of the abdominal wall and male patients
with abdominal obesity. Concomitant RAD was
dened as the most important risk factor for hernia recurrence (31 vs. 8%); so when it is present,
it is important to repair the defect. The recommended treatment for these patients is an herniorrhaphy with rectus plication (Video 29.1) and
some authors rmly recommend mesh reinforcement due to the high recurrence rate [29].
Sometimes, when there is an excess of infraumbilical skin, an abdominoplasty may be associated to the procedure (Figs.29.12 and 29.13).
Standard abdominoplasty with herniorrhaphy
presents a “vascular challenge” with higher risk
of complete devascularization of the umbilicus
with higher necrosis (4.2%) and higher wound
complication rates (11.7% vs. 6.3%) [60, 61].
However, some authors have tried to address this
challenge proposing a lateral approach to the hernia leaving the contralateral blood supply or
approaching the defect through a midline incision. Another technique is a mini- abdominoplasty,
performing a suprapubic incision and dissecting
the ap above the abdominal fascia upward,
