Large incisional hernias cannot be cured without prosthetic material. A large pore size prosthetic tissue seems to be the best alternative, since connective invasion of the mesh provides a very strong fixation of the prosthesis. In our view, the mesh should be placed in the rectus sheath, in a position we have described as "retromuscular prefascial". With this technique, a good result can be achieved in 98% of very large incisional hernias.
