laparotomy with PPL mesh implantation

control group: laparotomy with PPL mesh implantation (traditional method)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

PPL mesh

Intervention Type DEVICE

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 absorbable stichtes. The scar was sutured with absorbable stitches on subcutaneous incision and not absorbable suture on the cutaneous layer.

laparotomy with PPL fixation by BP

laparotomic surgery with PPL mesh fixation by BP (new fixing method)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PPL fixation by BP

Intervention Type DEVICE

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.
