We propose reinforcing the abdominal wall in abdominoplasties with a polypropylene mesh over three fusiform plications. A marked degree of musculoaponeurotic reinforcement is achieved and maintained postoperatively, especially if these laye…

Fifty consecutive patients with radiation-related problems of the chest wall were treated between 1976 and 1984. There were 40 women and 10 men with an average age of 54 years (range 26 to 78 years). Twenty-three patients had radiation ulce…

Giant incisional hernias are treated in many different ways involving risks and various degrees of mutilation. We prefer the use of polypropylene mesh (PPM) which is manufactured as Prolene or Marlex mesh. It is easy to handle, has great te…

Experience with 100 consecutive chest wall reconstructions during the past 7 years was reviewed. There were 52 female and 48 male patients with ages ranging from 13 to 78 years (average 53). Of the 100 patients, 42 had tumors of the chest w…

An experimental and clinical study using alloplastic materials (Marlex and Prolene mesh) for repairing large defects of the abdominal wall is reported. A defect was created in the experimental model to simulate an anatomical disarrangement …

Several techniques for static suspension of soft tissues in facial paralysis are available, including this use of the polypropylene (Marlex) mesh template. Through a standard rhytidectomy, lip and melolabial incisions, this template can be …
