    • 1994, Simmermacher RK, Schakenraad JM, Bleichrodt RP, “Reherniation after repair of the abdominal wall with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene”, in Journal of the American College of Surgeons, volume 178, number 6, →PMID, pages 613–616:
      We conclude that this study confirms our clinical experience that reherniations at the fascia and patch interface in abdominal wall defects closed with an ePTFE soft-tissue patch are the result of insufficient ingrowth of fibrocollagenous tissue into the patch, which results in an insufficient anchorage of the patch to the fascia.
