title: [Results of surgical treatment of patients with external abdominal hernias].
abstract: The vast material concerned with the surgical treatment of patients with external abdominal hernias collected for 10 years includes 913 planned operations and 608 emergency operations for incarcerated hernias. The overall lethality was 3.4%, lethality after planned operations being 0.1%, after emergency operations--8.4%. It was noted that the amount of elderly and senile patients among patients with incarcerated hernias had increased up to 79%. The traditional methods of autoplasty were used in 95% of the patients. In 5% of the patients the autoabdominal plasty modified by the authors was used for badly amenable to treatment inguinal hernias and postoperative ventral hernias. Better results of treatment of patients with incarcerated external hernias of the abdomen were due to early diagnosis of such hernias, timely hospitalization with special reference to the patient's age, correctly performed surgery and prophylactic measures to avoid cardiovascular and pulmonary complications at the postoperative period.
