[Plastic repair using the demineralized matrix of flat allogeneic bone in an operation for ventral hernia]

Investigations were performed in experiments on 36 dogs. Clinico-morphological results of plasty of artificial defects of the anterior abdominal wall by demineralized matrix of a flat allogeneic bone have shown good taking by tissues. In clinic the demineralized matrix of flat allogeneic bone (scapula, skull fornix) was used in ventral hernias in 36 patients. No recurrent hernias were noted in these patients within 20 months after operation.
