Abstract

Introduction. We report a case of diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA), in which the improvement of the appearance was obtained by performing extra skin resection. Case Report. A 30-year-old woman presented persistent abdominal bulging after her second delivery. She was diagnosed as DRA by computed tomography. We underwent a surgery that tacking the anterior layer of the rectus sheath and resecting excess skin. Results. There has been no clinical evidence of recurrence, and the patient satisfies her abdominal appearance. Conclusion. Because DRA is not a true hernia, surgery for DRA should be performed in understanding how patients want to improve their aesthetic appearance.
