What does abdominal fascial plication and open ventral hernia repair mean?

July 14, 2015
Asked By:Skye1 in Lafayette, LA

I was diagnosed via CT scan with a severe case of diastasis of the muscle, with loss of muscle tone, and it's causing my intestines to buldge out as if I have a huge ventral hernia. My surgeons are going to do either an open ventral hernia repair or abdominal fascial plication. Can someone tell me what are these procedures?
