Abstract
CUENCA, Osmar; RODRIGUEZ, Agustín and SEGOVIA, Arturo. ENDOSCOPIC APPROACH OF RECTUS DIASTASIS AND ABDOMINAL MIDLINE DEFECTS. Rev. Cir. Parag. [online]. 2017, vol.41, n.2, pp.37-40. ISSN 2307-0420. https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.agosto.37-40.
Rectus diastasis (RD) consists of the separation between the rectus abdominis anterior muscles, it is not considered a hernia defect but an alteration of the alba line. It is associated with age, multiparity, weight gain and clinically manifests with a bulging of the midline and usuallyac companies other midline defects (umbilical and epigastric hernia).We report the case of a 40-year-old female patient with a 4 cm. rectus diastasis who underwent repair by supraaponeurotic endoscopic approach and with prosthetic reinforcement.
