Title: Results of Open Mesh Versus Suture Repair in Treatment of Abdominal Wall (Multicentric, Prospective, Randomised, Internet-based, Clinical Trial)
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.
