• The authors report their experience with the giant prosthetic reinforcement of the visceral sac (Stoppa procedure), developed in the last 6 years operating 126 cases. Postoperative period was regular for two third of the patients, but only in 4 cases we can consider complication severe: 2 cases of preperitoneal haemorrhage with haematoma formation and subsequent recurrence; one sepsis of the preperitoneal space around the prosthesis, cured with drainage and conservative measures without recurrence, and then one peritonitis in a morbid obese individual. There was no mortality. 93.3% of the patients has been clinically controlled after over 6 months (average 27 months; range 6-67 months): 8 recurrences have been observed (3.6% of the hernias operated). 7 required reintervention. Therefore it is possible to affirm that 91% of the operated patients had good results.
