Abstract

Usually it is possible to repair abdominal wall defects primarily. If the fascia defect is too large and not possible to repair it primarily synthetic materials can be used. In this study the results of our two cases (superior lumbar hernia and ventral hernia) which were repaired by using polytetrafluoroethylene synthetic materials were presented.
