title: [Strangulated large and giant postoperative ventral hernias in elderly patients].
abstract: An experience with the surgical treatment of 245 patients aged over 60 with postoperative ventral hernias of a considerable size (45 of them being operated upon urgently) has shown that incarceration of such hernias in elderly patients are not so rare as it is usually thought. An exact individual selection of the operation volume allows getting better immediate results of the urgent surgical treatment of patients.
