title: [Use of absorbable polymers for plastic repair of postoperative ventral hernias].
abstract: In surgical clinic of Vladivostok State Medical University 48 patients were operated for postoperative ventral hernias with use of absorbable polymers. In group 1 (42 patients) the explant "Carbonicus-I" was used (period of absorption-2 years). 6 patients of group 2 underwent plastic repair with suture-glue duplication of aponeurosis of abdominal white line. The analysis of the results demonstrated that explants "Carbonicus-I" and tissue glue "MK-7M" can be used for plasty of hernial ring on anterior abdominal wall in large ventral hernias. Polymers with long period of absorption (over 2 years) form dense scar which prevents recurrence of hernia. At the same time polymers with short period of absorption (4-6 months) reduce possibility of early reaction of explant rejection.
