About

Large incisional hernia (LIH) is a challenging condition where the abdominal wall is hopelessly compromised. Nowadays the best treatment option in this particularly frail subset of patients is a major issue. The Auhtors proposed the clinical experience with an innovative approach with the composite Free Lateral Polypropylene prosthesis (FLaPp®) mesh fashioned as "neoperitoneum" analyzing its feasibility and short/medium term results.
