procedures of similar names. In our opinion, the use of BoNTs in abdominal wall surgery is a technique for primarily preparing the patient, not for repairing patient’s defect. “Chemical compo­nent paralysis” [ 43 ], or even better “chemodener- vation of abdominal wall musculature” seems more appropriate designations.
Although BoNTs have shown a favorable clinical profi le in cosmetic/dermatological appli­cations for decades, some important aspects are still pending to be clarifi ed [ 21 ]. It is interesting to note that uncertainties on some of these clini­cal questions are still present when BoNTs are used in the fi eld of abdominal wall surgery. In this respect, assessment of the effi cacy of botuli­num toxin across studies is heterogeneous, rang­ing from a clinical evaluation (potential bias related to subjectivity of the examiner) to indi­rect techniques, such as an abdominal CT. Therefore, a clear criterion to defi ne a posi­tive clinical effect of the application of botuli­num toxin in the abdominal wall is lacking. Injection strategies, including timing, which is important to determine the onset of action, dura­tion of effect and, ultimately, the impact of BoNTs on the abdominal wall muscular func­tion, remain unclear. A better defi nition of these aspects would contribute to our understanding of which type of botulinum toxin may be the most appropriate for its application in different sce­narios of abdominal wall surgery, given the char­acteristics of abdominal muscles and formulations. Formulations are not interchange­able and differ in relation to their molecular structure, mode of action, dosing, migration characteristics, and potential adverse effects.
Clinical studies of the application of BoNTs in abdominal wall surgery are still preliminary experiences based on observational designs and carried out in small study populations. Therefore, results of these studies should be interpreted taking into account these limitations. At the present time, there is only one ongoing regis­tered clinical trial (NCT01495962) aimed to determine whether botulinum toxin A (Botox ® ) will facilitate fascial closure after damage con-
trol laparotomy (DCL) [ 50 ]. The primary end- point is the rate of delayed primary fascial closure. Delayed primary fascial closure will be considered when the rectus abdominus fascia is directly approximated in the midline during the same hospitalization as the initial DCL without the use of mesh.
Potential applications of the paralyzing and antinociceptive effects of BoNTs in the abdomi­nal wall in adult patients may include complex and non-complex midline incisional hernias, open abdomen, or reconstructions when the abdominal wall is intact. Although a clear defi ­nition of “complex” abdominal hernia is miss­ing, recently, consensus on criteria used to defi ne a patient with complex hernia was reached [ 51 ]. Such consensus includes 22 patients and hernia variables for “complex” her­nia criteria inclusion which were grouped under four categories: “Size and location,” “Contamination/soft tissue condition,” “Patient history/risk factors,” and “Clinical scenario.” These variables were further divided into three patient severity classes (“Minor,” “Moderate,” and “Major”) to provide guidance for periopera­tive planning and measures, the risk of a com­plicated postoperative course, and the extent of fi nancial costs associated with treatment of these hernia patients [ 51 ].
On the basis of previous considerations and taking into account that each case treatment should be individualized, the paralyzing effect of BoNT-A could be indicated, with or without preoperative progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP), in patients with complex midline inci­sional hernia with a loss of domain (hernia sac can form a second abdominal cavity), small or large defects and minor or moderate severity class. Our group has a short experience with excellent results in a small clinical series of fi ve patients with complex midline incisional hernia and loss of domain (large/small defects, minor/ moderate severity class), which have been treated with a combination of onabotulinum toxin A (Botox ® ) and PPP. Two weeks prior to starting PPP, botulinum toxin A is injected. The

injection technique used in our patients is based on the method described by Ibarra-Hurtado et al. [ 7 ], in 2009, with the difference that we use onabotulinum toxin A (Botox ® ). Briefl y, after preparing the sterile material (gloves, gauzes, syringes, etc.,) and a mioject needle of 75 mm length (TECANeedles, MyoJect Disposable Hypodermic Needle Electrode, VIASYS Healthcare, Madison, WI, USA), 100 units of BoNT-A (Botox ® ) are diluted with 5 cm 3 of preservative-free 0.9% saline and a total of fi ve syringes of 1 cm 3 is obtained (20 units of BoNT-A). Five points are identifi ed at each side of lateral abdominal wall. Two points over the mid-axillary line (between the costal border and the superior iliac crest) and three points over the external oblique muscle. The skin is cleaned with alcohol and no local anes­thesia is used. The mioject needle is applied and under electromyographic guidance, the needle is used to identify the maximal electromyo­graphic recording points in the fi ve points of the lateral abdominal wall. The depth of injection
will depend on the anthropometric character­istics of the individual and the location of the point of maximum electromyographic activity. Then, 20 units (1 cm 3 ) per point (100 units for each hemiabdomen) are injected. The procedure is performed in the outpatient setting. The pur­pose of this combined approach was to increase elongation of the lateral abdominal wall mus­cles (i.e., increase of the abdominal cavity/ capacity) adding the effect of BoNT-A with the effect of PPP. Alternatively, the injections may be performed under ultrasound guidance, with each of the lateral abdominal muscles injected separately.
The algorithm for the management of midline incisional hernias with suspicion of loss of domain currently used by our group is shown in Fig. 41.1 . Details of our technique of BoNT-A injection are presented in the video supplement. Our strategy to measure BoNT-A effects is based on radiological evidence of a reduction of muscle thickness on post-injection CT and a shorter time of pneumoperitoneum (usually without BoNT-A

it takes between 2 and 3 weeks and with BoNT-A is reduced to 1–2 weeks). Illustrative cases of the combined use of BoNT-A and PPP are presented in Figs. 41.2 , 41.3 , and 41.4 .
Patients with a complex midline incisional
hernia without loss of domain (large/small
defects, minor/moderate severity class) may be candidates for BoNT-A application (Fig. 41.5 ). In these cases, the laparoscopic approach together with BoNT-A injection would be only considered in the absence of trophic cutaneous lesions, when defects are small and closed with or without asso-

ciated endoscopic component separation (ECS). The use of BoNT-A should not be indicated as a preoperative preparation of a non- complex mid­line incisional hernia (5–10 cm of transverse diameter), unless a laparoscopic approach with closure of the defect, with or without ECS would be chosen.
The open abdomen may be a reasonable indi­cation for BoNT-A in patients with an abdominal temporal closure technique with vacuum-assisted negative pressure [ 52 ] (Fig. 41.6 ).
In cases of abdominal defects with intact abdominal wall, BoNT-A application could be used in inguinal hernia with loss of domain, with

Potential separation of the paralyzing and antinociceptive effects of BoNTs is artifi cial and, theoretically, indications related to one effect may favor the other, and vice versa. For this rea­son, potential indications of the antinociceptive effects of BoNTs are the same than those previ­ously described (Table 41.3 ).
Concluding Remarks
Potential applications of BoNT-A here described to achieve tension- and retraction-free conditions in abdominal wall reconstruction are exclusively based on the author’s opinion and experience. Further studies (preferably randomized­controlled designs) are necessary to clarify a number of relevant clinical questions, including patient’s eligibility, dosing of the different botuli­num toxin A formulations, optimal administra­tion technique, or benefi ts of potential association with other procedures (such as PPP or ECS). Injections of BoNT-A into the abdominal wall muscles to facilitate complex hernia repair is a promising technique, but the evidence available at the present time is still weak and a clear role of BoNT-A in abdominal wall surgery remains to be defi ned.
