[Current status of the overlapping suture in the treatment of aponeurotic and incisional hernias].
The authors report their results in a series of 213 patients affected by ventral hernia and operated with the overlapping suture technique, between 1970 and 1991. After having reported on the patients features and the circumstances of the treatment, they describe the different reconstructive times in their overlapping suture technique of the abdominal wall and the personal modifications brought about during their twenty years experience. According to the quality of the obtained results (< 5% of recurrence rate), the authors underline the efficiency of the technique that today in the time of the mesh prosthesis use, seems to guarantee good results even in the therapy of certain large eventrations.
