This study aimed to objectively assess the effect of preoperative BTX on traction force during ventral hernia repair.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A prospective, single-blind study was conducted on patients with midline incisional hernias following liver transplantation. BTX was administered unilaterally, and the traction force required to medially advance the anterior rectus sheath was measured intraoperatively.

Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate traction force differences between BTX-injected and uninjected sides.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Ten patients underwent hernia repair with primary fascial closure achieved in all cases. Comparison of pre- and post-injection CT scans showed no significant changes in hernia size. LAW muscle length increased by 1.8 cm, while thickness decreased by 0.2 cm. Intraoperative traction force measurements revealed a significant reduction on the BTX-injected side compared to the uninjected side (p < 0.0001).

SF-36 is a generic questionnaire with some limitations on the hernioplasty postoperative evaluation.
