title: [Surgical treatment of postoperative infected hernias].
abstract: The article deals with the results of examination and treatment of 153 patients with postoperative ventral hernias. In 109 (71.3%) of these patients the hernia formed due to suppuration of the wound after the first operation; 48 (31.4%) hab on admission a source of purulent surgical infection in the zone of the future operative intervention. According to the findings of microbiological examination of intraoperative biopsies and smears taken from wounds and fistulas, the patients were divided into three groups (group 1, 10(1) microbial bodies per kg tissue; group 2, 10(2); group 3, 10(5)). Pharmacological studies showed that the necessary concentration of broad-spectrum antibiotics is produced only when they are injected by the infiltrative method. On basis of this, the authors developed a scheme for the prevention of purulent complications in herniotomy with the use of biological and synthetic prostheses for each group of patients. The method produced good results in the majority of patients with minimal suppurations (3.9%) and recurrent hernias (0.65%).
