Abstract
Annotation: This article presents the results of evaluating the measurement of the area of titanium mesh implants using computed tomography (CT) data based on the use of an experimental model. Hernioplasty using mesh implants is a modern method of treating hernias of the anterior abdominal wall. The most common complication of hernia surgery is hernia recurrence. The main reason for the development of recurrence is the discrepancy between the size of the implant and the hernial defect, which may occur due to a decrease in the size of the mesh after its installation. CT can be used to assess changes in mesh size. The study showed that the dimensions obtained because of non-invasive measurement of the mesh implant by CT did not significantly differ from the dimensions of the implant obtained intraoperatively. Thus, CT is a highly effective method for assessing the size of titanium mesh implants and can be used in clinical practice.
