The secondary eventrations after delivery are the prime cause of women's eventrations. These eventrations are enormous in Africa because the post-partum women do not make active movements to develop again the abdominal strap. In Europa or North America the treatment would make use of prosthetic materials but in Africa the climatic and working conditions do not take the utilization of such method. The authors purpose a cure allied aponevroplasty according to JUDD technique with abdominoplasty. The result is satisfactory and durable.
