title: [The repair of voluminous postoperative abdominal wall defects with synthetic mesh].
abstract: Important postoperative abdominal wall defects, especially recurrent or multirecidivated ones, are raising multiple problems to the surgeon. We are presenting a homogeneous trial of 209 patients with such lesions, in which the abdominal wall repair was made with different kind of synthetic materials, with good results. In a single case the mesh was rejected, because a silent quiescent infection. In three patients undergoing iterative abdominal operations for other diseases we performed optical and electronic microscopical studies showing out that the material integration was done by normal biological reaction. This provides the materials' tolerability and a normal reaction of the organism.
