Preoperative Botulinum Toxin A and Its Impact on Pulmonary Function in Giant Abdominal Wall Hernias: A Prospective Spirometry-Based Analysis
Botulinum toxin type A does not impair core lung volumes but induces mechanical changes that may affect airflow velocity. Standard spirometry may not fully reflect these dynamics, and further investigation is warranted to better understand respiratory outcomes in this patient group.
