The development of biologic prostheses has changed the approach to abdominal wall surgery, especially when the use of synthetic mesh is contraindicated. From July 2005 to July 2014, 57 biological prostheses were implanted in 49 patients at the General Surgical Unit D, Dept. of Surgery, Sapienza University of Rome. Results with biologics are encouraging if proper indications and technical details are considered. Our indications take in account guidelines from the Hernia Grading System (HGS) (The Ventral Hernia Working Group, Surgery; 2010)
