Preoperative, single, high-dose glucocorticoid administration in abdominal wall reconstruction: A randomized, double-blinded clinical trial

Although preoperative administration of high-dose glucocorticoid may lead to improved recovery after operative procedures, this regimen has not been examined in patients undergoing abdominal wall reconstruction for repair of large ventral hernias. The aim of the current trial was to examine the effects of preoperative, single high-dose glucocorticoid on recovery after abdominal wall reconstruction.
