METHOD FOR LAPAROSCOPIC TREATMENT OF DIASTASIS RECTI ABDOMINIS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B17/00 A61B17/34 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: first suture is applied under laparoscopic control within an upper diastasis angle through a 1-mm skin puncture in a projection of an abdominal line. A needle instrument for trocar wound closure is delivered through the first abdominal rectus muscle at 1-1.5 cm from its inner edge. A filament is left in the abdominal cavity. The instrument is delivered through an opposite edge of a white line. It is used to pick a filament end in the abdominal cavity and to pull it out into subcutaneous fat. The filament end is brought subcutaneously and introduced into the abdominal cavity through the other end of the white line. The filament is left in the abdominal cavity. The instrument is delivered from the opposite side through the second abdominal rectus muscle at 1-1.5 cm from its inner edge. The filament end is pulled out. An extracorporeal friction knot is formed and immersed into the subcutaneous fat. The following sutures are applied similarly throughout the diastasis at 1.5-2.5 cm from each other.

EFFECT: method prevents recurrent diastasis and postoperative hernias by forming a duplex aponeurosis without excising the skin and white line.
