Short-term safety of preoperative administration of botulinum toxin A for the treatment of large ventral hernia with loss of domain

2019 
Purpose Preoperative intramuscular-administered botulinum toxin A (BTA) in the lateral abdominal muscles prior to abdominal wall reconstruction has been reported to produce a flaccid paralysis and improve the primary closure rate of large ventral hernias with loss of domain. Complications to this treatment remain sparsely described. The aim of the current study was to report safety and short-term outcome of abdominal wall reconstruction aided by BTA administration.
