The normal width of the linea alba in nulliparous women

Clinical Anatomy, 2009
AbstractThe function of the linea alba is to maintain the abdominal muscles at a certain proximity to each other. In the case of long‐lasting increased intra‐abdominal pressure, the linea alba widens. Yet, as the existence of the linea a priori implicates a physiological distance between the two rectus muscles, the question arises as to what the normal

Anisotropy of human linea alba: A biomechanical study

Journal of Surgical Research, 2005
Recently, a new model of fiber architecture of the linea alba has been described consisting of an oblique fiber layer of intermingling oblique fibers, a transverse fiber layer containing mainly transverse fibril bundles, and a variable, small irregular fiber layer.

Strong linea alba: Myth or reality?

Medical Hypotheses, 2012
The traditional approach of repairing the linea alba, while operating on ventral hernias, is based on the premise that the linea alba is a strong layer and can reinforce the abdominal wall. This deeply entrenched view of most surgeons has resulted in numerous techniques which invariably include the linea alba as a part of the repair.

Uniaxial and biaxial mechanical properties of porcine linea alba

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2015
Incisional hernia is a severe complication post-laparoscopic/laparotomy surgery that is commonly associated with the linea alba. However, the few studies on the mechanical properties of the linea alba in the literature appear contradictory, possible due to challenges with the physical dimensions of samples and variations in protocol. This study focuses

The abdominal linea alba: an anatomo-radiologic and biomechanical study

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 1996
Traditionally, the linea alba represents the principal route of approach in abdominal surgery and in consequence it is the commonest site of incisional hernia. The aim of this study was to review its morphology and to study its mechanical parameters of resistance, deformation and elasticity in order to compare these with the prosthetic materials most ...

The suture pullout characteristics of human and porcine linea alba

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2017
There is a substantial prevalence of post-operative incisional hernia for both laparoscopic and laparotomy procedures, but there have been few attempts at quantifying abdominal wound closure methodology in the literature. One method to ascertain a more robust method of wound closure is the identification of the influence of suture placement parameters ...

Linea alba 3D morphometric variability by CT scan exploration

Hernia: the Journal of Hernias and Abdominal Wall Surgery
Abstract Purpose The width of the Linea alba, which is often gauged by inter-rectus distance, is a key risk factor for incisional hernia and recurrence. Previous studies provided limited descriptions with no consideration for width, location variability, or curvature.

Abdominal Pain in Children Caused by Linea Alba Hernias

Pediatrics, 1975
Children with chronic recurrent abdominal pain present a frequently encountered and often perplexing problem in differential diagnosis. Apley states that the incidence of this condition, based on his investigation of 1,000 unselected schoolchildren, was calculated to be 10.8% of all children; and in a large outpatient clinic, Conway found this ...
