[View to surgical treatment of midline hernias considering their biomechanical properties]

Biomechanical parameters of the white line in health, in postoperative ventral hernias, in midline hernias and diastasis recti abdominis were studied on a special stand. It was noted that the elasticity modulus of the white line in the transverse direction is more than that in the longitudinal direction. The white line tissue strength in patients with midline hernia was 46.5% less as compared with the normal line. The greatest strength and transfer appeared with the elliptical opening stretched along the white line as compared with the round form of the opening.
