Tension-free repairs have revolutionized the way we repair hernias. To help reduce undue tension when performing ventral hernia repair, multiple different techniques of myofascial releases have been described. The purpose of this project is to evaluate tension measurements for commonly performed myofascial releases in abdominal wall hernia repair. Patients undergoing myofascial release techniques for their ventral hernias were enrolled in a prospective Institutional Review Board-approved protocol to measure abdominal wall tension from June 1, 2011 to August 1, 2019. Abdominal wall tensions were measured using tensiometers before and after myofascial release techniques. Descriptive statistics were performed and data were analyzed. Thirty patients had tension measurements (5 anterior myofascial separation, 25 posterior myofascial separation with transversus abdominis release [TAR]). Average age was 60.1 years (range 29-81), 83% Caucasian, 53% female, and 42% recurrent hernias. The average hernia defect in patients undergoing anterior myofascial release was 117.3 cm2, and the average mesh size was 650 cm2. The reduction in tension after anterior release was 4.7 lbs (2.7 lbs vs 7.4 lbs). The average hernia defect in patients undergoing posterior myofascial release (TAR) was 183 cm2, and the average mesh size was 761.36 cm2. The reduction in tension after bilateral posterior rectus sheath incision was 2.55 lbs (5.01 lbs vs 7.56 lbs) with 0.66 lbs further reduction in tension after TAR (4.35 lbs vs 5.01). In this evaluation, abdominal wall tension measurements are shown to be a feasible adjunct during open hernia repair. Preliminary data show tension reductions associated with the different myofascial release techniques and, with further study, may be a useful intraoperative adjunct for decision making in hernia repair.
