Quantifying fascial tension in ventral hernia repair and component separation

ConclusionWe have applied a cheap, simple, and precise method to sterilely assess fascial tension during herniorrhaphy and also quantified the decrease in tension following component separation. This technique may be rapidly translated into the operating room with minimal equipment to provide objective data critical for intraoperative decision-making.
