Abstract
PURPOSE
To describe the technique of sublay correction of incisional hernia in Wistar rats under videomagnification system.
METHODS
Five male rats of the species Rattus norvegicus, of the Wistar lineage, with body weight between 250-350 g and 60 days old were used. Incisional hernia was inducted in all animals. After that, the incisional hernia was immediately corrected by the sublay method.
RESULTS
There were no cases of recurrence of the incisional hernia after placement of the polypropylene mesh using the sublay technique. No postoperative complications were observed.
CONCLUSIONS
The technique is suitable for execution in Wistar rats.
