Predicting abdominal closure after component separation for complex ventral hernias: maximizing the use of preoperative computed tomography.

abstract：:Using a newly developed Doppler probe, we have found that a standard suture anastomosis in a rat femoral artery is accompanied by significant (30-60%) cross-sectional area stenosis, which dissipates to baseline levels within 24 hours. We hypothesized that spasm, deposition of coagulation products, or the suture techni...
