    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The prosthetic repair of incisional hernias drastically reduced the incidence of recurrence, but increased the associated morbidity. We report a consecutive series of patients with incisional hernias operated by Rives- Stoppa procedure. The aim is to identify the early and late complications associated with the procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 275 patients admitted and operated on between 2002-2006 were prospectively evaluated by direct examination and questionnaire. RESULTS: 171 responded in 2007 and 148 in 2009; direct examination was obtained 143 and 118 patients respectively.Recurrence rate 6.7%. Good and very good comfort rates in 58%. CONCLUSIONS: Similar results with the expert centre.
