title: [Non-strain methods of hernioplasty in the treatment of postoperative ventral hernias].
abstract: In the last 2 years we performed 26 nonstrain hernioplasties for postoperative ventral hernias (16 laparoscopic and 10 open operations). Indications for laparoscopic operation were hernias after "primary" laparotomy, multiple aponeurosis defects, and also demand of simultaneous operations. We preferred open plastics in recurrent hernias, repeated abdominal operations, laparoscopic hernioplasty impossibility revealed during the operation. Fast rehabilitation and their early return to work are advantages of nonstrain hernioplasty. Mean hospital stay was 7.5 days with a general disability of 22.3 days. We believe that open hernioplasty is most simple and reliable. As to laparoscopic hernioplasty, we think it less reliable.
