Scientific innovation

miSAR technique®

a technique developed to reconstruct the abdominal midline

A technique devised by Dr Manetti for the minimally invasive treatment of midline defects (diastasis and hernias). The procedure reconstructs the midline and allows the mesh to be placed in a protected plane, away from contact with the bowel.

Millimetre-sized scars that are not visible.
