[Reflection on the use of the polyglactine 910 self resorbing mesh in the treatment of hernias and ventral ruptures (author's transl)].

The long term results obtained by Polyglactine 910 mesh in the treatment of eviscerations has lead us to specify its conditions of use in the surgical treatment of wall ruptures. As it is self resorbing, it may not be used on its own. But its remarkable acceptance allowing it to be fitted in an intra-peritoneal position, with very lateral stitches, makes it a most outstanding material for top quality assisted sutures.
