The features of surgical treatment of ventral hernias after gunshot wounds of the addomen.

Abstract

The results of treatment of 21 patients with postoperative ventral hernias, formed as a result of surgical treatment for gunshot wounds of the abdomen were analyzed. All patients are men aged 21-48 years. 3 patients underwent laparoscopic allohernioplasty according to the IPOM method with Teflon allograft, 10 patients underwent allohernioplasty with a prolenic mesh graft by the sub lay method, 7 patients underwent alloplasty using the on lay method and 1 – autoplastywith local tissues. Suppuration of wounds was not noted. The average bed-day after laparoscopic hernioplasty was 9.5 days, after open operations - 16.2 days. The advantage of laparoscopic hernioplasty over open operations was noted.
