Choice of Anesthetic Mode in the Treatment of Large and Giant Postoperative Hernias

Abstract

The paper deals with the choice of an anesthetic mode and postoperative analgesia for patients with large ventral hernias and details the present views and pathogenetic aspects of the mechanisms of the pain syndrome occurring in this cohort of patients. The conducted analysis of both groups of patients under endothracheal and combined anesthesias (a combination of endotracheal anesthesia and peridural analgesia) showed the efficiency of a choice for combined anesthesia in preventing the development of respiratory failure in patients with ventral hernias. Key words: combined anesthesia, pain syndrome, ventral hernia, prevention of postoperative complications.
