We propose a new technique for repair of abdominal ventral eventration, using a large mersilene mesh prothesis which is sutured to the anterior pelvic ridge below (Cooper's ligament and the dorsal aspect of the conjoint tendon) and to the intra-abdominal aspect of the ventral abdominal wall above, by means of three sub-costal attachments which have been compared to boat shrouds. This prostetic sheet therefore runs through two distinct anatomical spaces and is fixed to the abdominal wall all along its periphery.
