Clinical Trial Summary

A comparative prospective study assessing the outcomes of recti muscle diastasis correction with absorbable suture.


Clinical Trial Description

Background: Rectus sheath plication within abdominoplasty is a standard treatment for diastasis of the recti muscles. Previous studies assessing the efficacy and endurance of the correction of recti diastasis have mostly been performed with small groups of patients, short follow-up periods and/or with questionable methodology

Methods: A comparative prospective study assessing the outcomes of recti muscle diastasis correction with absorbable suture. The investigators assess the outcomes by physical and ultrasonographic examinations and a patient questionnaire, which asks about the number of pregnancies and the types of deliveries, other abdominal surgeries before or after the abdominoplasty, the interval of time required to return to full activity, postoperative pain, and the overall satisfaction with the final result. During the examination, the inter-recti distances are measured at 3 levels: halfway between the xyphoid and umbilicus, just above the umbilicus and halfway between the umbilicus and pubis. The same examination is done on a control group of nulliparous women. ;
