Component separation of abdominal wall with intraoperative botulinum A presents satisfactory outcomes in large incisional hernias: a case report

Abstract: HighlightsTransplantation patients presents associated risk factors that make appearance of incisional hernia more likely.Several aspects of the closure of large hernia defects following liver transplatation remain controversial.A successful approach for selected patient group for whom there is no established standard treatment is described.

“…However, the extensive release of the subcutaneous tissue sharply increases complications related to the wound, reaching rates higher than 60% [ 27 ]. In response to this problem, several variations of CS have been described, including the release of the rectus abdominis sheath alone or in combination with the release of the transverse abdominal [ 28 ] and the use of botulinum toxin injection into the oblique muscles to perform a temporary relaxation of the components [ 29 ].…”

“…The incisional hernia is often common delayed complication following laparotomies surgeries. Some comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, male sex, advanced age, incision type, immunosuppression therapy, wound infection and pulmonary complications are considered risk factors for incisional hernia development 9,10 . Closure of the abdominal wall with low tension with the use of mesh is the standard treatment for correcting this type of hernia 5 .…”

“…BTA is a therapeutic complementary treatment to decrease the suture tension and consequently the hernia recurrences rate. The flaccid muscular paralysis, provoked by this neurotoxin, takes effect from two days after application and lasts for 6-9 months 10 . It reduces the thickness of the abdominal wall, increasing its length, allowing hernia reduction and therefore allowing closure with less tension.…”
