Claim:
1. A system, comprising: a prosthesis comprising a first flexible mesh sheet structure; two or more elongate rods each being removably coupled with the prosthesis and each being more rigid than the mesh sheet structure, in such a way that the combination of the two or more elongate rods with the mesh sheet structure rigidifies the mesh sheet structure along a length of each of the two or more elongate rods; and one or more fastening mechanisms mechanically coupling the two or more elongate rods to the first mesh sheet structure of the prosthesis, wherein the system is configured to be rolled in a direction substantially orthogonal to a central longitudinal axes of the two or more elongate rods in such a way that all or substantially all of the mesh sheet structure forms one or more rolls without bending the two or more elongate rods.
