Dr Twisha Shah | Dr Mukesh Soni | Dr. Preety Deshpande | Dr. Sameer Kadam

Abstract: The challenge in complex ventral hernia repair is difficulty in primary closure of the large defects. Study case includes 52 year old female with paraumbilical incisional hernia post laprotomy by midline incision for intestinal adhesionlysis. Transversus abdominis muscle release (TAR) procedure, is a new myofascial release technique in which posterior component separation is done for complex ventral hernia repair. By creating immense retro muscular plane TAR allows bilaminar in growth of the mesh, allowing primary closure of defect. Due to its suitability and favorable outcome, TAR technique in treatment of complex ventral hernia is recommended where closure of the primary defect is difficult.
