A surgical scar was performed on the abdominal linea alba and carried out deeply into a pocket between large abdominal muscle and abdominal fascia. A pocket was created between the two layers. 5cm PLL prosthesis was implanted and fixed by BP patch. The scar was sutured with absorbable stitches on subcutaneous incision and not absorbable stitches on the cutaneous layer.

Time of durability without side effects of surgical device
We are testing the time (months/year) of durability without side effects of a new fixing method for prosthetic materials for abdominal wall hernias and wall defects repairing on pig model
Time frame: up to 36 months
time required to position the device during surgery
time required to position the device during surgery (time is related with probability of side effect during surgery)
Time frame: up to 36 months
