Transversus Abdominis Release (TAR)
Surgery in Mumbai, India

TAR surgery is a complex, yet effective, procedure for repairing large or recurrent hernias. It is a newly developed technique used in abdominal wall reconstruction that delivers a lasting solution to various complex incisional and large hernias.

TAR hernia repair is indicated for large and complex ventral hernias, subxiphoid hernias, parastomal hernia, flank hernias, suprapubic hernia and recurrent hernias.

Abdominal wall defects of up to 20 cm in width can be closed. The technique also allows implantation of very large meshes to reduce recurrence.

Most people can resume normal activities within one to three weeks of the procedure. The abdomen will be sore during the first week following surgery. Patients who undergo transverse abdominis release (TAR) are off intravenous pain medications by day 2, are allowed to go home by day 4, and no longer take pain medication and perform all their baseline activity level 7 days after surgery.

While recovering from an incisional hernia repair one should carefully follow these: avoid strenuous physical activity, especially weightlifting; avoid smoking if applicable, as this can slow healing; weight reduction as this can help reduce pressure on the abdominal wall; and manage any existing medical conditions, such as diabetes. Regular follow-ups reduce signs of recurrence or wound complications.

The use of the transverse abdominis release (TAR) technique has demonstrated several advantages over traditional techniques when addressing complex abdominal deficiencies: low perioperative morbidity, minimum complications, a safe and effective method, a more comprehensive repair while maintaining the benefits of an open approach, minimum recurrence rate, and minimum risk of skin necrosis and infection.
