Aponeurotic hernias. Recent observations upon paraumbilical and epigastric hernias

Abstract

The mechanism of herniation through the anterior abdominal wall aponeuroses remains inadequately explained. Recently, when the structural significance of the anterior abdominal wall aponeuroses was recognized, some light was shed. The etiology and surgical repair of aponeurotic hernial defects were restudied on a structural-functional biomechanical basis.
