Abstract
Marlex mesh (polypropylene) is an excellent prosthetic material for closure of major defects in the abdominal wall [of patients]. It helps to overcome many technical diffculties, making possible the repair of virtually every hernia. Two methods of ventral hernia repair, using Marlex mesh are described. In 20 operations in which 1 of the 2 methods was used, the results were uniformly satisfactory with acceptably low morbidity and no deaths.
