Summary
Large incisional hernia (LIH) is a challenging condition where the abdominal wall is hopelessly compromised. Nowadays the best treatment option in this particularly frail subset of patients is a major issue. The Auhtors proposed the clinical experience with an innovative approach with the composite Free Lateral Polypropylene prosthesis (FLaPp®) mesh fashioned as "neoperitoneum" analyzing its feasibility and short/medium term results.

Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PROCEDURE | hernioplastic and insertion of FLaPp® composite mesh | After the reduction of the large incisional hernia, the polypropylene transparent film of this mesh (lower flap) was sutured to the margins of the residual peritoneum and posterior rectus sheath as a "neo-peritoneum"; the macroporous light polypropylene layer (upper flap) was then sutured circumferentially with full-thickness transabdominal stitches in the retromuscular space. |
