Use of polypropylene mesh for abdominal wall defect in surgery of advanced urachus carcinoma

Urol Int. 1988;43(2):102-3. doi: 10.1159/000281314.

Abstract

We report a case of urachus carcinoma in which the resulting abdominal wall defect was reconstructed during surgery with an artificial polypropylene mesh. The use of the mesh made it easier to resect the tumor more radically, even in an advanced case.
