- * A study assessed the impact of preoperative Botulinum Toxin A (BTA) injections on reducing the need for component separation techniques (CST) and surgical complications in patients undergoing hernia repair.
- * Results showed that patients receiving BTA had a significantly lower need for CST (46% vs. 84%) and experienced fewer postoperative complications, indicating BTA can improve surgical outcomes for giant hernias.
