title: [Complex treatment of the patients with postoperative ventral hernia].
abstract: Overall 605 patients with postoperative ventral hernia underwent plasty of anterior abdominal wall by combined methods and on-lay or in-lay disposition of synthetic implant. Concomitant diseases were diagnosed 432 (71.4%) patients that required 495 simultaneous operations at 283 (43.8%) patients. Wound complications after surgery were seen at 21 (3.47%) patients. Long-term results were followed-up to 11 years: recurrences of hernia were diagnosed at 12 (1.9%) patients, 3 (0.5%) patients died due to pulmonary embolism. It is concluded that the treatment of patients with postoperative ventral hernia requires complex approach and leads to good short- and long-term results.
