The results of dermal or autologous full-thickness skin graft implantation in a series of 20 patients are reported. Seventeen patients were affected by incisional hernia, 2 by a large umbilical hernia and 1 by fibromatosis of the abdominal wall. The surgical procedure is described together with the histological findings of the skin grafts, 4 years after implantation.
