Abstract

The case report of a 66 years white patient with a history of hypertension,  type II diabetes mellitus  and overweight is presented, who  was operated on at “Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso” University General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba due to a considerable eventration in the front abdominal wall that didn't allow her wandering around without support. The prosthetic repair which was effective and safe, was carried out with no recurrence during 13 years.
