    We have evaluated the role of stapled Prolene mesh for reinforcement of the midline abdominal wall plication in patients with advanced musculoaponeurotic laxity. Twenty-one multiparous women underwent a standard abdominoplasty with wide longitudinal rectus sheath plication, followed by stapling of the mesh to the external oblique fascia and anterior rectus sheath. All patients were followed up for at least 6 months and 10 of them for 1 year. None of the patients had a major complication. All patients except one maintained an appreciable improvement in their abdominal contour when evaluated at 6 months. The technical aspects, possible advantages, and complications of using such a procedure in this particular group of patients are described.

    Muscles of the Abdomen

    The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
    Anterolateral Region
    The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and anterior...

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

    Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
    Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
