Abdominal skin tensile strength in aesthetic and massive weight loss patients and its role in ventral hernia repair

BACKGROUND: Clarifying the biomechanics of abdominal skin could lead to different uses for this tissue such as the ventral repair of hernias in patients with excess skin and incisional hernias. The objective of this study was to compare the maximum tensile strength of abdominal skin to commercial me...
