New Approach to Ventral Hernia Repair

Abstract

35 cases of ventral hernias of varying sizes have been presented. The hernial sac was opened and excised inall. The repair was done by invaginating layers of monofilament nylon thread. This technique has shown gratifying results. There had been no incidence of recurrence of hernia nor of operative mortality and it seems to be applicable even to large ventral hernias.
