Therapeutic Ultrasonography: TAP Block and BOTOX, Collections, Nerve Injections

The successful repair of an abdominal hernia would depend on various factors including, but not limited to, the site and the type of defect, the size of the hernia, the tone of the musculature, and the contents of the hernia sac. Surgical repair of an extremely large hernia or a recurrent incisional hernia pose added challenges such as inadequate or incompetent muscle cover, significant postoperative pain, potential respiratory compromise due to high intra-abdominal pressure, increased tension of the muscles of the lateral abdominal wall which can lead to early recurrence [1].
