title: [The surgical treatment of large incisional hernias by lacing of autogenous full thickness skin. 36 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: Strips of skin taken from the excess skin adjoining the scar, prepared carefully and used as a loose continuous suture, represent an elastic material which is easy to use and of great strength. Results studied in a group of 36 patients with a follow-up varying from 12 month to 16 years were excellent in 70% of cases and moderate in 25%. The quality of the results obtained, from both a mechanical standpoint as well as in terms of tolerance, together with the simplicity of the technique, have led us to consider it as a method of choice in the repair of large incisional hernias, in particular recurrent.
