Description
Summary:	In the technique described, the area of granulation tissue is first separated from the small bowel from which it originates and entirely removed. The internal borders of the rectus abdominis sheath are then brought together after being released by a wide lateral dissection of the skin and by a long counter-incision in the anterior surface of the sheath. The presence of a fistula or an enterostomy does not preclude the operation : indeed, they can be suppressed at the same time. Eight patients were treated by this simple technique which does not require prosthetic material. The results were satisfactory, with a durably strong abdominal wall.
