One of the drawbacks of using macroporous polypropylene prostheses in the repair of the abdominal wall is the formation of adhesions with the viscera. However, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has low adhesion formation, although it provides less resistance to traction in the repaired zone. The aim of
