Abstract
Diastasis is a separation of the two recti due to various reasons, and can be measured as the 'inter-recti distance' (IRD). Surgery for diastasis is controversial, while laparoscopic repair has rarely been reported. We describe our method of laparoscopic plication-the 'Venetian blinds' technique combined with mesh reinforcement for patients with diastasis of the recti.
