Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to: 1. compare the long term results of mesh versus suture repair in treatment of abdominal wall defects; 2. find the optimal location of implanted prosthesis, comparing the two most useful position of mesh in abdominal wall hernia surgery.

Detailed description

To determine difference of operation time, applied materials of hernia operations; clinical complications, postoperative pain, hernia recurrence, recovery and normal activity time after surgery.
