Robotic Diastasis Recti Repair & Core Reconstruction

Restoring Core Stability and Abdominal Function through Minimal Access Robotic Surgery.
What is Diastasis Recti?

Diastasis recti is the separation of the left and right rectus abdominis muscles, often caused by pregnancy, intra-abdominal pressure, or tissue stretching. This separation leads to a midline bulge, compromised core strength, lower back pain, and poor posture.

Advanced Robotic Repair Techniques

Robotic diastasis repair allows the midline connective tissue (linea alba) to be re-approximated and tightened internally through keyhole incisions, avoiding large vertical scars across the abdomen.

  • Robotic Repair Without Mesh: Suture plication of the rectus sheath for mild-to-moderate separation with high-quality native fascia.

  • Robotic Mesh-Reinforced Repair: For wider separations or co-existing midline hernias, a supportive biological or synthetic mesh matrix is positioned extraperitoneally to reinforce the core wall.

Dual-Specialty Joint Operations: Complete Abdominal Restoration

For patients seeking both functional core restoration and cosmetic skin contouring, we offer joint dual-specialty surgical procedures.

  • Collaborative Surgical Care: Working closely with Mr. Dariush Nikkhah, renowned Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, we combine functional robotic core repair with cosmetic abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or body contouring in a single surgical setting.

  • The Dual Benefit:

    1. Functional Core Strength: Robotic re-alignment of the abdominal muscles restores stability and relieves lumbar strain.

    2. Aesthetic Contouring: Simultaneous excision of excess skin and tissue sculpting achieves a refined aesthetic contour.
