Abstract
<h4>Introduction</h4>Surgical repair of the anterior abdominal wall hernia is the most common intervention in general surgery practice. The introduction of synthetic prostheses reduces the frequency of recurrences, but in many cases, they are associated with complications that could seriously impair the quality of life of patients. To reduce perioperative complications, we introduced in our practice innovative prostheses made of a highly inert polymer, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and conducted an observational study.
