title: A new procedure in the surgical treatment of large incisional ventral hernias with the use of Dexon Mesh.
abstract: A new procedure in the surgical treatment of large incisional ventral hernias is described. It is based on the use of enlarged relaxation incisions of the abdominal fascia on both sides of the hernia to perform a direct suture of the posterior and superficial fascial layer of the hernia defect without tension. Extensive fascial defects after enlarged side relaxation incisions should be reinforced to prevent a weakness of the ventral abdominal wall. The best material may be a resorbable knitted mesh.
