Summary

This study looked at whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the side belly muscles before large hernia repair surgery can improve breathing. Large hernias can push organs out of place, making surgery tricky and affecting lung function. The study measured lung capacity in 30 adults before and after the Botox injection to see if it helps.
