[Measurement of pressure and force as a basis of the postoperative evaluation of abdominal wall function].
By quantifying profiles of pressure and effects of forces in the operating area of inguinal hernia operations we found coughing to be the extreme burden for the abdominal wall and Bassini suture. The described technique of measuring the forces exercised in the suture spot by using an expanding wire can be used in principle such as the measurement of pressure in the rectum, for similar cases of general care in surgery.
