Use of Dexon Mesh for abdominal partitioning above the peritoneal reflection

D B Evans et al. Dis Colon Rectum. 1991 Sep.

Abstract

Dexon Mesh (Davis & Geck, Sugarland, TX) was used to partition the abdomen after incomplete resection of a locally advanced left colon cancer. Following surgery, external beam radiotherapy was delivered to the left flank without the risk of radiation enteritis. The technique of abdominal partitioning using Dexon Mesh is described.
