A systematic review on the outcomes of correction of diastasis of the recti
Hernia, 2011Diastasis or divarication of the rectus abdominus muscles describes the separation of the recti, usually as a result of the linea alba thinning and stretching. This review examines whether divaricated recti should be repaired and tries to establish if the inherent co-morbidity associated with surgical correction outweighs the benefits derived.EMBASE ...

Interrater Reliability of Diastasis Recti Abdominis Measurement
Physical Therapy, 1987Diastasis recti abdominis, or midline separation of the abdominal musculature, has not been investigated scientifically. The purposes of this study were to provide data on the incidence and degree of diastasis recti abdominis, to describe the measurement system used, and to determine the interrater reliability of the measurements performed.

Endoscopic Diastasis Recti Repair
2016Rectus abdominis diastasis (or diastasis recti) is mainly an acquired condition with clinically evident separation of the rectus abdominis muscle pillars. The result is a characteristic bulging of the abdominal wall that is sometimes mistaken for a ventral hernia despite the fact that the midline aponeurosis is intact and no hernia defect is present ...

Multiparous women are at highest risk for developing diastasis recti. Diagnosis is easily made by clinical examination and symptomology and characterized by a midline abdominal bulge without a fascial defect ...

Studies on the endoscopic correction of diastasis recti
Operative Techniques in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1996Recently, we performed a study that showed it is possible to correct rectus diastasis when performed using the laparoscope. A cadaver was used to show the effect of plicating the posterior rectus sheath from within the peritoneal cavity on the external appearance of the abdomen.
