title: [The picture of abdominal cavity wall after surgical treatment of postoperative abdominal hernia with the Matapurkar's method of "peritoneal sandwich" in pathomorphological examinations].
abstract: In this work the results of autopsy are presented--of a 45 years old man who died because of complications of cirrhosis in 24 months after repairing a postoperative hernia with the Matapurkar's "peritoneal sandwich" and polypropylene mesh. Macroscopically and histopathologically it has been shown that gradual healing of the mesh ends with formation of alloplastic-tissue connective structure, called neofascia that fills in the defect in fascia of the abdominal wall. Inflammatory process around implanted mesh maintains even after several months. It seems that parietal peritoneum of hernia sac that surrounds polypropylene mesh may have a tendency towards metaplasia in the direction of tissue-connective fascia layer.
