From: Virtual simulation of the biomechanics of the abdominal wall with different stoma locations
Distribution of Von Mises tension (\(\sigma _v\)) on the anterior (a,b) and posterior (c,d) surfaces of the linea alba and (e,f) on the inner lateral region of the left rectus abdominis muscle (the surface that is in contact with the LA). (a,c,e) Reference case (model without incisions). (b,d,f) Case with a stoma located on the linea alba (\(s_0\)). Note that in parts (e) and (f) the axes are rotated so that the leftmost region of the RA here corresponds to the uppermost RA region in Fig. 1c.
