The article describes the results of surgical treatment of patients with postoperative ventral hernias. The incidence of postoperative ventral hernias (PVH) in patients with hernias ranges from 3 to 19%; and 20–26% in patients after laparotomy (this is the 2nd place from frequencies after inguinal hernias). More than 4 million laparotomies annually performed in the United States in various diseases cases, and of which 2–30% of patients develop PVH. Hernia repairs occur in 150-250 thousand patients. And recurrences happened in 100 thousand patients, which were operated on again for their . The cost of treating such patients is over $ 2 billion per year. In the Netherlands, according to the national medical registration data, there are about 4 thousand hernioplasty procedures for PVH per 100 thousand laparotomies. In this case, in 57–83% of patients, ventral hernias of median localization are formed. In general, the number of reoperations in patients for recurrent PVH ranges from 2.5 to 54.8%.
Purpose of the work: prevention and treatment of wound complications during hernioplasty of incisional ventral hernias.
Materials and methods: All patients were treated in the department of surgery of the Pavlodar regional hospital named after I.G. Sultanov, city hospitals No.1 and 3 of Pavlodar from 2010 to 2020. The study was dominated by female patients 91 (63%), men 53 (37%). The patients were divided into 2 groups. Observation group (I) 77 (53%) patients were treated according to the proposed improved method with prevention complications. Comparison group (II) consisted of a retrospective sample of 67 (47%) consecutive patients, whose examination and treatment was carried out according to the existing standard.
Results and discussion: Using of autodermal plastics by the developed method reduced the percentage of local postoperative complications from 19.8% to 5.3%, and the frequency of hernia recurrences from 28% to 4.5%, which indicates its effectiveness, especially in patients with large and recurrent hernias.
Conclusion: the developed method is easy to carry out, reduces the risk of wound complications and prevents hernia recurrence.
