Background Incisional hernia is a complication that is encountered with a rate of 2-11 % and can lead to morbidity, work loss, and even mortality. Prosthetic materials that are used in hernia repair are still being tested, and the ideal one has not been proposed yet. While the recurrence rates with primary repair are found to be 30-50 %, these rates are decreased to 0-15 % with mesh repair. These rates emphasize the importance of meshes. The most important criteria in their usage are the advantages and disadvantages of types of meshes. Our aim is to cover the mesh with the subject's own collagen tissue, then to repair the defect with this autogen collagen-covered propylene mesh, and lastly, to prevent or decrease adhesions against the mesh.
