Traitement des ev'entrations de la paroi abdominale par prothe'se non re'sorbable en position pre'-pe'ritoneale [a'propos de 81 cas]

ABSTRACT

The authors report the results of a series of 81 abdominal incisional hernias or parietal defects treated by setting a mersilene mesh in extra-peritoneal situation. 70 of incisional hernias are secondary to a median laparotomy, 5 incisional hernias of Mac Burneys incision, 5 others of subcostal location and one case after paramedian incision. The results are satisfactory in 95% of the cases. In 4,9% of the cases, we have recurrence caused essentially by infection [3/4 cases]
