This is a prospective cohort study. Patients have an incisional or parastomal hernia with \>20 cm fascial defect on pre-operative imaging who will undergo an anticipated open bilateral transversus abdominis release with retromuscular synthetic mesh will have their abdominal wall tension measured using a tension scale and their intra-abdominal pressure measured using a urinary catheter containing pressure sensors. The investigators aim to quantify the changes, as well as explore and describe the physiologic shifts that may be associated with these changes.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
