It has long been the protocol for ventral hernia repair patients to undergo physical therapy postoperatively. However, Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center for Abdominal Core Health is conducting a study to confirm if there really is a benefit for this group of patients. Ventral hernia repair is one of the most common operations performed involving dynamic parts of the abdominal core musculature. The failure rate of these repairs is 24-43%. The study will aim to quantify the effects of abdominal core rehabilitation using physical therapy and also seeks to discover the best way to rehabilitate the abdominal core postoperatively.
