title: [Surgical cure of postoperative eventrations with intraperitoneal implantation of dacron mesh. Apropos of 160 operated cases].
abstract: A series of 160 patients with large incisional hernia underwent surgical repair involving the intraperitoneal positioning of a Dracon mersh. All patients were reexamined three years after operative procedure. Mortality was 1.2%. Four patients (2.5%) presented deep wound infection with removal of the mesh. Seven recurrences (4.3%) were reported. In conclusion, large incisional abdominal hernia can be treated successfully by an intraperitoneal Dracon mesh.
