NEW METHOD OF HERNIOPLASTY IN PATIENTS WITH GIANT VENTRAL HERNIAS

Abstract

Purpose: to improve the results of surgical treatment of giant ventral hernias using a new method of hernioplasty.Materials and methods: 78 patients with giant hernias of anterior abdominal wall were operated on in the period from 2006 to 2013 using the new method of hernioplasty.Results: modeling of rectus abdominis muscle using of mesh endoprosthesis allows to minimize the tension of tissues and allocation of the muscles during early and late postoperative period. The postoperative period was uneventful. There was allowed to patient to approve an activity using a bandage at 3th-4th day after surgery. Compartment-syndrome wasn’t registered.Summary: the new method of abdominal wall repair improves blood supply of the edges of hernial defect. It allows to increase the volume of abdominal cavity and prevents of compartment syndrome after surgical treatment of giant ventral hernias.
