ABSTRACT
We describe a new, functional surgical technique, known as 'encircling mesh', designed to address abdominal wall problems. The rationale of the procedure is to connect the anterior and posterior trunk muscle compartments by means of a purpose built polypropylene mesh that encloses a belt shifted posteriorly across the spine subcutaneously, through use of a disposable introducer. The technical details and a case presentation, with specific references to the cosmetic and functional outcomes are described.
