P-096 ASSESSMENT OF THE FASCIA HEALING PROCESS AFTER SUTURE PLICATION OF RECTUS DIASTASIS – MEASURED WITH ULTRASOUND AT ONE, TWO, THREE AND FOUR MONTHS FOLLOWING SURGERY

Abstract Aim Surgical repair of postpartum rectus diastasis (RD) has proven to provide functional improvements. Several different techniques have been described. There is no consensus regarding postoperative management and rehabilitation regimes varies. The purpose this observational prospective cohort study was follow better understand the healing process reconstructed linea alba with aim optimize rehabilitation. Material method Forty-five patients RD operated a standardized plication using absorbable suture material were included consecutively. All participants underwent program followed ultrasonography examinations abdominal wall midline at one, two, three four months after surgery. Interpretation ultrasound findings defined by specialist radiologist. diameter duplicate measured until it totally contracted. considered regenerated when anterior posterior lining observed parallel. Results Early results showed that had shrunk recreated in 82.2% four-month examination. Corresponding numbers for three, two one-month 15.6%, 0%, 0%. A preoperative inter-recti distance exceeding five centimeters tendency prolong process. Conclusion fascia time following completed within 4/5 women undergoing repair. can contribute design an optimized regime
