Allohernioplasty Laparoscopic Postoperative Ventral Hernias

Abstract

Relevance. Currently, the problem of effective treatment of postoperative ventral hernias is still not completely solved. The recurrence rate of the disease ranges from 15% to 50%, and repeat surgery causes increasing of the rate up to 20-65%.
 
 The purpose of the study is to evaluate the results of laparoscopic hernioplasty in patients with postoperative ventral hernias.
 Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the immediate and remote results of surgical treatment of 140 patients with postoperative ventral hernias. Patients of the main group (63) laparoscopic hernia repair method "ipom" patients in the comparison group (73) – open hernioplasty by the method of "onlay" and "inlay".
 Results. The use of laparoscopic hernioplasty by the method of "ipom" allow to significantly reduce the number of early and overall postoperative complications (3.7%), duration of hospitalization (from 9.8 ± 1.3 per day to 5.4 ± 0.7 per day), the period of temporary incapacity (from 28.9 ± 3.4 days to 17.2 ± 2.3 days), as well as reduce the number of relapses (from 8.2% to 3.0%).
 Discussion Laparoscopic hernioplasty is an effective method of treatment of postoperative ventral hernias. The obvious advantages of laparoscopic hernioplasty are: low invasiveness, fewer complications, rapid medical and social rehabilitation of patients. There is an undoubted advantage of laparoscopic hernioplasty over an open operation with the patient several postoperative ventral hernias.
 Conclusion. In modern conditions, laparoscopic hernia repair can be recommended as the operation of choice in patients with postoperative ventral hernia.
