[Extraperitonisation with polypropylene net in plastic surgery of ventral hernia]

Polypropylene net was used in 82 patients for treatment of hernia of anterior abdominal wall. Greater omentum and peritoneum were used for isolation of the net from intestinal loops. 60 patients were followed up from 1 to 5 years. Recurrences of hernia were not revealed. It is concluded that greater omentum provides good extraperitonisation of transplant from intestinal loop and prevents complications due to contact of net with abdominal organs.
