A virtual simulation study of the effects of laparotomy incision location and wound stiffness on abdominal wall mechanics

A virtual simulation study of the effects of laparotomy incision location and wound stiffness on abdominal wall mechanics

Abstract Incisional hernia (IH) is a common complication of laparotomy surgical procedures, influenced by factors such as incision location and surgical wound (SW) tissue strength, and the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) levels the patient is subject to. In this study we use finite element simulation...
