[Autodermoplasty in postoperative hernias]

Autodermal hernioplasty was used in 102 patients. The transplant was treated by heating through a napkin moistened in the physiologic salt solution. Two methods of hernioplasty are proposed for approximated and nonapproximated margins of the hernia hilus. In both cases the flap was placed with its reticular layers directed towards the muscular-aponeurotic plates, being disposed under them. A small amount of wound complications and the absence of recurrences show the efficiency of the proposed methods of autodermal plasty.
