Transversus Abdominis Muscle Release in Giant Incisional Hernia
Giant incisional hernias and complex abdominal wall reconstructions are challenging in terms of primary closure with typical operating techniques. Transversus abdominis muscle release (TAR) is a new myofascial release technique that involves the creation of a retro rectal place and mesh placement. It is a modification of the posterior component separation technique (CST) and enables the primary closure of the most challenging abdominal wall reconstructions.
