Restoring the physiologic tension of the abdominal wall is a key concept in abdominal wall reconstruction. Yet little is known quantitatively about the normal tension of the abdominal wall. To better understand the ideal tension for abdominal wall reconstruction, the physiologic tension of the abdominal wall needs to be measured. This study aims to measure the tension of the abdominal wall during laparotomy closure.
