Hernia Prevention. Effectiveness of Reinforced Tension Line (RTL) Technique Compared With the Conventional Method

"The method consists of two lines of suture, each, over the fascial wound edge. It starts with a suture strand (in this study was used PDS number 0) in one end of the fascial wound where the suture is run longitudinally and parallel to the aponeurotic edge. The needle should go in and out at intervals of 1 cm away and always kept at 0.5 cm from the edge of the fascia. Upon reaching the opposite angle of the wound suture strand another repeating the same process on the fascial edge otherwise used. The ends of the two suture strands are tied in fascial angles.~Thus the fascial wound is sutured with two lines of strengthening its edges. Then proceed to close the wound with continuous súrgete always ensuring that the suture lines remain anchored on suture reinforcement."
