The abdominal wall should be reconstructed anatomically by correcting diastasis. A nonanatomic corset or undue tightening has the potential to create undue and prolonged abdominal pain, prolonged recovery, increased abdominal compartment pressure, reduced lung expansion, increased pressure on the pelvic venous structures and implications on DVT.
