Abstract
To perform retrospective analysis of treatment of postoperative ventral hernias (PVH) in kidney and extrarenal organs recipients, to assess its safety and effectiveness. Hernia repair has been performed in 84 PVH patients for the period from May 2006 to November 2017. The main group consisted of 41 patients (24 males, 17 females, mean age 55 (44; 59)) years with PVH due to previous transplantation. The control group included 43 PVH patients (21 males, 22 females, mean age 51 (50, 56)) years without previous transplantation. Incidence of surgical complications was similar in two groups: 63.4% in group 1 vs. 53.5% in group 2 (p>0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of surgical complications depending on immunosuppressive therapy and synthetic endoprosthesis deployment technique. Treatment of postoperative ventral hernias using synthetic endoprostheses in recipients of solid organs is effective and safe and should be considered as a preferable in treatment of this pathology.
