Achieving fascial closure with preoperative botulinum toxin injections in abdominal wall reconstruction : outcomes from a high-volume center
© 2024. Italian Society of Surgery (SIC)..
Preoperative injection of Botulinum Toxin A (Botox) has been described as an adjunctive therapy to facilitate fascial closure of large hernia defects in abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of Botox injections on fascial closure and overall outcomes to further validate its role in AWR. A prospectively maintained database was retrospectively reviewed to identify all patients undergoing AWR at our institution between January 2014 and March 2022. Patients who did and did not receive preoperative Botox injections were analyzed and compared. A total of 426 patients were included (Botox 76, NBotox 350). The Botox group had significantly larger hernia defects (90 cm2 vs 9 cm2, p < 0.01) and a higher rate of component separations performed (60.5% vs 14.4%, p < 0.01). Despite this large difference in hernia defect size, primary fascial closure rates were similar between the groups (p = 0.49). Notably, the Botox group had higher rates of surgical-site infections (SSIs)/surgical-site occurrences (SSOs) (p < 0.01). Following propensity score matching to control for multiple patient factors including age, sex, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and hernia size, the Botox group still had a higher rate of component separations (50% vs 26.3%, p = 0.03) and higher incidence of SSIs/SSOs (39.5% vs 13.5%, p = 0.01). Multimodal therapy with Botox injections and component separations can help achieve fascial closure of large defects during AWR. However, adding these combined therapies may increase the occurrence of postoperative SSIs/SSOs.
