OBJECTIVE: To analyse our results of the "Cardiff' (far and near) repair in incisional @entity547 . DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: University hospital, Varanasi, India. SUBJECTS: 50 @entity1 who presented with incisional @entity547 between January 1990 and December 1994. INTERVENTION: Interrupted far-and-near sutures inserted after excision of the sac. The contents were pushed into the abdomen and the peritoneum sutured with non-absorbable @entity7502 ( @entity7502 ). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Early and late morbidity. Six @entity1 developed @entity260 ( @entity2737 , n=3; flap @entity39 , n=2; and wound sinus, n=1). No @entity1 has been lost to follow up and there have been no signs of recurrence after a mean follow up of 52 months. CONCLUSION: The meticulous application of this simple surgical technique has low morbidity and is cost effective. We recommend it for small and medium size defects.
