Caesarean Section Following Abdominoplasty With Mesh Repair: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement is an increasingly used surgical technique for abdominal wall restoration, but there is limited literature regarding pregnancy and delivery following such procedures. We report the case of a 38-year-old woman with a history of previous caesarean section and subsequent abdominoplasty with mesh repair who underwent an elective caesarean section at 39 weeks' gestation. Intraoperatively, the mesh was encountered beneath the rectus muscles and was sharply dissected to access the peritoneal cavity. The baby was delivered via a standard lower uterine segment incision. Estimated blood loss was 1500 millilitres, and the patient had an uneventful recovery. Literature regarding caesarean delivery after abdominoplasty with mesh is scarce, with only isolated reports available. While mesh reinforcement provides structural benefits, it raises potential concerns for subsequent pregnancy and surgical access. Our case demonstrates that caesarean section after mesh-reinforced abdominoplasty is feasible with careful surgical planning. This report highlights the technical considerations of caesarean section in women with prior mesh repair and underscores the need for further long-term follow-up to assess maternal outcomes and abdominal wall integrity.
