The reconstruction of the abdominal wall is a technique that is recommended in those patients who present a significant distension of the abdominal muscles and even hernias. This pathology occurs, especially in women who have had more than one pregnancy and in people who have lost a lot of weight.

Depending on the severity of the case, a muscle suture will be performed if there is an important separation. In the cases that are necessary to stabilize the wall, a mesh will be placed. In patients who present with a hernia in the navel, it can be corrected in the same intervention.

In the case of women who have had a recent pregnancy, it is important to wait for natural tissue retraction during the next six-twelve months. After performing the abdominal reconstruction intervention, it is necessary to wait a year to have a new pregnancy.
