Preoperative Adjuncts & Tools
At The Ballarat Hernia Clinic we regularly use botulinum toxin preoperatively to achieve relaxation of the abdominal wall muscles in order to close larger hernia defects more effectively. This also results in less postoperative pain and reduces the need for more complicated and risky muscle cutting surgical manoeuvres. Additionally, Dr Wong was an early adopter of the Fasciotens intra-operative fascial traction device that has revolutionised repair of massive ventral hernias.
