Trends in operative treatment of the rectus diastasis A 13 year analysis of German nationwide hospital discharge data
This is the first real-world big data analysis of RD repair without hernia in Germany. On average, 198 procedures are performed annually with a low complication rate. The findings support surgical treatment in selected symptomatic cases and emphasize the need for standardized coding and prospective registry data.
