The article presents experimental data on interaction of the polypropilen implant with the kidney and adjacent tissues, on comparative evaluation of reliability of mechanical methods of polypropilen net fixation to different human tissues (the kidney, muscles and costal periosteum). A novel technique of laparoscopic nephropexy with usage of prolen implant has been developed. It was tested in 49 patients with nephroptosis in 2003-2006. Good short- and long-term results were obtained.
