The modern concept of treatment of patients with giant postoperative ventral hernias

Despite the rapid development of minimally invasive endovideosurgical technologies in abdominal surgery, the number of surgical interventions using the traditional laparotomic approach remains high, after which in 4-18% of cases there are postoperative ventral hernias (PVH), and in the general statistical structure of all ventral hernias, PVH is 20-26% [3,40,47,62]. In the structure of all abdominal hernias, large incisional hernias (LPOVH) occupy a special place and account for from 3 to 14% [11,14,46,61]. About 60% of patients with POVH are aged 21 to 60 years, i.e. are a significant part of the country's able-bodied population [7,11,61].
