title: [Plastic surgery of the abdominal wall in laparocele in a patient with previous kidney transplant].
abstract: The authors report the case of a patient undergoing kidney transplant from a non-related but compatible living donor who subsequently developed a voluminous incisional hernia affecting almost the entire small intestine in the right iliac fossa, the site of earlier surgery. After having analysed the problems involved when a transplant patient requires further surgery owing to the chronic administration of drugs, the authors describe the case. The patient was treated using the insertion of a prolene graft and remodelling the abdominal wall in correspondence with the lower quadrants using abdominoplasty without repositioning the umbilicus.
