[ We claim:] [1.] An implantable prosthesis for repairing or reconstructing a tissue or muscle wall defect, comprising:a flexible, hollow outer plug formed of a biologically compatible, implantable fabric having openings therein for tissue ingrowth, said hollow plug including a cavity therein and being compressible radially upon insertion into the defect; andat least two inner filler plugs pre-formed to include a sidewall defining a cavity in an uncompressed configuration, and being further formed of a biologically compatible, implantable fabric having openings therein for tissue ingrowth and positioned within said outer plug cavity which impart bulk to, and stiffen, said implantable prosthesis when said outer plug is compressed radially upon insertion into the defect.
