There are two types of rectus abdominis suture surgeries; traditional open surgery is performed by removing and trimming the excess skin and then suturing it. Minimally invasive surgical laparoscopic repair is performed using a laparoscopic approach.
Rectus abdominis muscle separation is caused by excessive pressure in the abdominal cavity, resulting in separation of the rectus abdominis muscle by more than 2 fingers and is usually caused by severe ascites, twins, oversized fetus, and excessive amniotic fluid. Patients can be treated with either open surgery or laparoscopic repair.
In traditional open surgery, after anesthesia and sterilization, the excess skin is removed and trimmed, then the rectus abdominis muscles on both sides are re-sutured and the abdominal white line is rebuilt.
In minimally invasive surgery, after anesthesia and sterilization, laparoscopic method is used to repair the rectus abdominis muscle separation using a patch, which results in less surgical damage, no abdominal surgical scars, and quicker recovery after surgical treatment.
If patients need to do rectus abdominis suture surgery, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital, under the guidance of a professional doctor for treatment.
