abstract: There were 180 patients, ageing from 60 to 86 years, operated on for postoperative abdominal hernia. An autoplasty with the hernial defect closure without the tissues tension was conducted in 123 (68.3%) patients, including 77--using an original method. An original method of the combined hernioplasty using polyuretanic implant enclosed in a capsule made of a hiatal sac, was conducted in 57 (31.7%) patients with giant and recurrent hernia. Two (1.1%) patients died. In 1-7 years after the autoplasty conduction the hernia recurrence was revealed in 5 (4.7%), in 1-5 years after the combined hernioplasty--in 1 (2.4%) patient.
