ABSTRACT
In this study polypropylene mesh was used to facilitate reconstruction of large tissue defects by tension-free repair in 5 crossbred calves with hernial ring sizes ranging from 4-9 cm. The mesh was anchored subcutaneously to strong supportive musculature with interrupted pattern using No. 3 polypropylene sutures. The results revealed that polypropylene mesh proved alternative for hernial repair when fixed subcutaneous in large hernial ring in male and female calves without complications. Therefore, prosthetic mesh represents a safely procedure in large hernial ring to avoid over-stretching on the edges of the wound which hinders wound healing
