      We conclude that this study confirms our clinical experience that reherniations at the fascia and patch interface in abdominal wall defects closed with an ePTFE soft-tissue patch are the result of insufficient ingrowth of fibrocollagenous tissue into the patch, which results in an insufficient anchorage of the patch to the fascia.
