Experimental morphological study of rapidly resolved implants used for the treatment of ventral hernias

Experimental defect in the abdominal wall, created in 36 outbred albino rats, was closed with an implant (biocompatible connective-tissue element). The inflammatory aseptic reaction of tissues to the implant during the initial period of its healing was followed by replacement of the implant by solid connective tissue, strong and hermetic. This film can be recommended for fortification of aponeurosis sutures after resection of hernias.
