After analyzing 200 measurements from 100 patients undergoing posterior component separation with transversus abdominis release, researchers found that baseline and residual abdominal wall tensions did not affect early postoperative complications such as surgical site infection, readmission, ileus, and bleeding. Further investigation is required to determine if abdominal wall tension influences long-term outcomes like hernia recurrence.
