[The use of plastic mesh for reconstruction of abdominal wall after surgery for recurrent carcinoma of the cervix].
The experience with the use of plastic mesh for abdominal wall reconstruction after surgery for recurrent carcinoma of the cervix is presented. This method has proved to be effective with an excellent mechanical support for the viscera, with good early and distant morbidity. This technique allowed a subsequent radiotherapy with good tolerance. The presence of abdominal mesh proved not to be a serious obstacle when a secondary surgical intervention is required.
