Prospective observational study of abdominal wall reconstruction with THT technique in primary midline defects with diastasis recti: clinical and functional outcomes in 110 consecutive patients
ConclusionsThe THT technique proved to be a feasible, safe, and effective alternative for corrective surgery of primary midline hernias associated with diastasis recti. Short- and mid-term results are encouraging but need to be confirmed by further studies with longer follow-up. The achieved midline reconstruction offers a significant improvement of patients' perceived quality of life through reduction of abdominal wall pain, bulging, low back pain, and urinary stress incontinence.
