New strategy aims to prevent breathing trouble after hernia repair

This study looks at a new way to close the belly wall during large hernia surgery to prevent breathing problems right after the operation. Doctors will use standard breathing measurements during surgery to decide the best closure method. The study will include 50 adults who are already getting hernia repair with botulinum toxin preparation. The main goal is to see if this approach lowers the rate of serious breathing issues within the first three days after surgery.
