title: Anatomical repair of large incisional hernias.
abstract: We present a method of repair for large incisional hernias using lateral relieving incisions of the anterior rectus sheath. This is a modification of the methods previously described by Young (1), Hunter (2) and Maguire and Young (3). There were no recurrences in the 13 patients reviewed. Other methods of repair for large incisional hernias are discussed.
