Aponeurotic clefts (ASC) are natural openings in the aponeurosis, which is the dense connective tissue covering the abdominal muscles. These gaps serve as places for the passage of blood vessels and nerve fibers.
AS may occur as a result of developmental abnormalities, or as a result of rupture or damage to the aponeurosis. They can also be caused by various abdominal injuries, such as blows, falls, or surgery.
The most common causes of the formation of AS are various diseases of the abdominal cavity, such as hernias, tumors and inflammatory processes. In addition, ASH can be associated with excess weight or poor diet, which leads to stretched and weakened abdominal muscles.
If AS occurs, you must consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Depending on the cause of the formation of AS and the extent of its development, the doctor may recommend various treatment methods, such as surgery, physical therapy, or conservative therapy.
Aponeurotic Aponeurosis is a dense layer of connective tissue located between the skin and muscles. It consists of bundles of collagen fibers laid in different directions. When the muscles are tense, the aponeurosis retains its shape.
In the area of the navel, the aponeurotic gap of the transverse abdominal wall usually occurs as a result of a partial aponeurotic defect of the transverse abdominal wall. Inflammatory swelling of surrounding tissues in the area of the damaged aponeurotic layer after childbirth contributes to true aponeurotic ruptures and the development of a hernia defect.
Also in rare cases, diseases such as: - Epicollapse of the transverse abdominal muscles (congenital anomaly associated with a lack of elastic fibers) - Postoperative epicollapse of the muscles of the abdominal wall (operation for peritonitis, causing damage to elastic fibers) Damage or disease of the abdominal fascia itself or the presence of it defects. To prevent the occurrence of hernias, it is necessary not to tighten the abdomen, as well as their prevention. To prevent aponeurototic gaps from appearing, you need to try to get rid of diastasis of the abdominal muscles - the distance between the white and brown type of stomach.
