Journal Review in Hernia Surgery: Quantitative Tension on the Abdominal Wall in Posterior Components Separation With Transversus Abdominis Release
Behind The Knife: The Surgery PodcastAbout this episode
How is each release of the TAR contributing to the final tension on the anterior and posterior fascia? Join Drs. Michael Rosen, Benjamin T. Miller, Sara Maskal, and Ryan C. Ellis as they discuss their group’s recent cohort study of tensiometry in 100 TARs. Hosts: - Michael Rosen, Cleveland Clinic - Benjamin T. Miller, Cleveland Clinic - Sara Maskal, Cleveland Clinic - Ryan C. Ellis, Cleveland Clinic, @ryanellismd Learning objectives: - Review the steps of a TAR - Understand the changes in tension on the anterior and posterior fascia with each step of the TAR - Think about the application this data has to similar operations References: Miller BT, Ellis RC, Petro CC, Krpata DM, Prabhu AS, Beffa LRA, Huang LC, Tu C, Rosen MJ.
