Lösel, Relle et al. present a biomechanical approach and visualisation tool for incisional hernia repair using two CT scans, one at rest and one during a Valsalva manoeuvre, to assess abdominal wall instability and guide surgical planning. In 31 patients treated with this method, all remained pain-free and had no hernia recurrence after three years.
