[Treatment of large laparoceles: review and personal experience]. / Trattamento dei grandi laparoceli: rassegna ed esperienza personale.

ABSTRACT

Surgical correction of laparocele is still today a problem for the surgeon. Physiopathological aspects, preparation to surgery and most of all the indications to the use of synthetic prosthesis are reviewed. Easy application and lesser evidence of recurrency and complications suggest a wider field of indications of these procedures. Attention should be payed to the rules of a careful operative technique involving the use of foreign bodies.
