Abstract

Abstract:

Diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA) refers to the phenomenon of rectus abdominis muscle separation on both sides of the alba line, accompanied by the extension of the alba line tissue, resulting in the decline of the muscle group strength of the anterior abdominal wall, with or without the change of the abdominal shape, thereby causing a series of physiological dysfunction. At present, DRA has gradually attracted the attention of related surgeons. There are few studies on the surgical treatment of DRA at home and abroad. This article reviews the research progress on the etiology, diagnosis and surgical treatment of DRA.

Key words: Diastasis rectus abdominis, Etiology, Diagnosis, Surgical treatment
