Abstract
A series of 30 incisional hernia repairs with knitted monofilament polypropylene is presented. The recurrence rate was 3.3% (one patient). No patch has sloughed or required removal. There was one postoperative death. Synthetic mesh allows defects of any size to be repaired without tension with a low recurrence rate.
