Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection Improves the Intraperitoneal High Pressure in Rats Treated with Abdominal Wall Plasty

The aim of the study is mainly to study the subject of BoNT-A injection to improve IAH in rats undergoing abdominal angioplasty. The study problem in surgery, especially in ICU, burn, and trauma centers, intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are common complications. At present, there are various treatments for IAH. The intramuscular injection of Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) into the abdominal wall has received a lot of attention. Based on this, this study proposes a method for measuring abdominal pressure, applies BoNT-A to reduce abdominal pressure in the IAH state of abdominal wall angioplasty, and explores a way to increase the compliance of the abdominal wall under the premise of maintaining the sealing of the abdominal cavity, so as to realize the expansion of the abdominal cavity. A method is achieved to reduce intra-abdominal pressure and eliminate or alleviate ACS. The results of the experiment showed that when the rats in the control group were injected with the same amount of normal saline as the rats in the experimental group, the IAP was significantly higher than that in the experimental group (P < 0.05). This shows that BoNT-A increases the compliance of the abdominal wall while maintaining the closure of the abdominal cavity, thereby increasing the volume of the abdominal cavity and alleviating the state of IAH in rats.
