The device is formed of a substantially rigid rod comprising a first section having a free end and bent to define either a conical helix or a planar serpentine figure. A second section of the rod is used as a pulling member. In accordance with the method of the invention, to suspend the abdominal wall of a patient, (a) an incision is cut in the patient's abdominal wall, (b) the free end of the first rod section is inserted in the incision and the first rod section slid in this incision until it is completely introduced in the patient's abdominal cavity, and (c) the second rod section, situated on the outside of the abdominal wall, is pulled to apply the first rod section on the inner face of the patient's abdominal wall and then to suspend this abdominal wall.
