title: [Long-term quality of life of patients with postoperative ventral hernia].
abstract: 125 patients with postoperative ventral hernia were included in the study. First group included patients who were operated on with the use of polypropylene mesh, second group of patients were operated on, using non-mesh techniques. Quality of life was assessed with the use of standard SF-36 questionnarie. The obtained data demonstrated inexpediency of mesh implantation in small hernias, so far the quality of life tended to be the same in both groups, but complication rate was higher in patients of the first group. Mesh implantation was reasonable in treatment of medium and large ventral hernias.
