Aim In our series we analyze our experience in the subsequent separation of components with release of the transverse (TAR). Material & Methods Study of our series of retrospective cases since 2016 to the present. We analyzed 59 patients with large hernias (midline and sides) all with defects greater than 10 cm. We perform the technique accessing the Rossen space through down to up. We used two meshes as prostheses, one biodegradable and the other made of polypropylene low density. Results We present 59 patients (38 men/21woman), of mean age of 61 years old and average BMI 32.05 Kg/m2. The mean postoperative stay was 7 days. The technique was carried out bilateral in 39 patients, and 20 it was applied unilaterally. Mesh implant to retromuscular level in 56 of the cases and 4 preperitoneal. Reinterventions in 4 (6.78%) patients. As minor complications, 8 (13.56%) wound infections, 9 (15.25%) wound seromas, 7 (11.86%) patients with pain chronic with preserved management, 1 (1.69%) edge ischemia and 1 (1.69%) wound sinus. Readmissions 4 patients (6.78%). Average follow-up of 24 months, no recurrence has been detected in any of the patients. Conclusions TAR is a complex technique that requires a learning curve, and that, even in equipment experienced, is not exent from serious complications. Therefore, the indication must be individualized and in order for it to be definitive, because once the wall is remodeled with this technique, the surgical options that remain are few.
