ETIOPATHOGENETIC RISK FACTORS FOR POSTOPERATIVE VENTRAL HERNIAS
Keywords:
Surgery, ventral hernias, etiopathogenesisAbstract
The world surgical community has not reached a unanimous opinion on the solution of problematic issues of surgical treatment of patients with postoperative ventral hernias (POVH). Mortality after planned and emergency surgical interventions for POVH of the anterior abdominal wall varies from 0.2% to 2.3% of cases. Almost all POVH are large and giant. According to various authors, the frequency of POVH recurrence when using local tissue plasty and open prosthetic techniques varies from 8% to 63% of cases. Repeated surgical interventions for recurrent POVH increase the frequency of relapses by 10% in the late postoperative period.
