A computed tomography study investigating the effects of botulinum toxin injections prior to complex abdominal wall reconstruction.
[OBJECTIVE] To explore how intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin A (BTA) affects the lateral abdominal wall (LAW) musculature, abdominal- and hernia dimensions, and muscle structure on computed tomography (CT) in patients scheduled for…

Comparison of Two Versus Three Bilateral Botulinum Toxin Injections Prior to Abdominal Wall Reconstruction.
Intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin A (BTA) induces a temporary muscle paralysis. In patients with a ventral hernia, preoperative injection of BTA in the muscles of the lateral abdominal wall (LAW) leads to thinning and lengthening o…

[Botox preceding ventral hernia repair: it's not about esthetics].
Ventral hernia is a common complication after laparotomy. The aim during ventral hernia repair is to close the abdomen through medialization of the rectus muscles. Particularly in patients with large ventral hernia, chronically retracted la…

A systematic review and meta-analysis of technical aspects and clinical outcomes of botulinum toxin prior to abdominal wall reconstruction.
[PURPOSE] To systematically review technical aspects and treatment regimens of botulinum toxin A (BTA) injections in the lateral abdominal wall musculature. We also investigated the effect of BTA on abdominal muscle- and hernia dimensions, …
