[Meshed implants of polyvinylidene fluoride in treatment of abdominal wall hernias].

Abstract	The authors analyze the results of experimental and clinical investigations for comparative studying a new meshed implant of polyvinylidene fluoride as an endoprosthesis of the anterior abdominal wall with postoperative hernias. It was shown that the polyvinylidene fluoride prosthesis is a good alternative of polypropylene prosthesis. Its physico-chemical properties allow reliable prostheses of the abdominal wall, and its biological compatibility is higher as compared with polypropylene prosthesis.
