[The treatment of laparocele by means of a reticulo-laminar prosthesis (Composix Mesh). A technical note].
In this paper, the authors present a modified Rives' technique for the treatment of incisional hernias. This technique requires the use of a nonabsorbable prosthesis (Composix Mesh) made of a double-knit layer of monofilament polypropylene bonded with a single layer of low-porosity e-PTFE inserted behind the rectus muscles and fixed by metallic clips. The outer side (polypropylene) encourages complete host tissue incorporation to reduce recurrences, the inner side (e-PTFE) minimizes tissue attachment and, therefore, visceral complications.
