Repair of small abdominal wall hernias. The comparison of open in-lay and on-lay techniques.

CONCLUSION: Although, the patch itself has tendency to make a dome formation when placed intra-abdominally, a composite polypropylene and ePTFE hernia patch has better outcomes if placed precisely with minimal extra-peritoneal and extensive intra-peritoneal dissection. We assume that inadequate liberation of omental attachments around the defect enhances the prior reported failures of the product. KEY WORDS: Composite mesh, Hernia, Ventralex patch.
