title: [Treatment of medium and large post-operation ventral hernias with the usage of own tissues].
abstract: The authors have presented the method of treatment of medium and large post-operation ventral hernias, which envisages reinforcement of front wall of the abdomen using its own tissues. For this purpose the authors used the hernial sac, which, after the appropriate processing is placed under the muscles of the front wall of the abdomen and is fixed to the outer oponeurosis with supporting suture. Apart from that, for the normalization of intra-abdominal pressure during the operation the authors monitor the pressure and in case of necessity apply weakening incisions on outer oponeurosis. Throughout the years of 2000-2012 totally 90 operations have been implemented to the patient of both sex ageing from 22 to 82. Two cases of lethal outcome occurred in post-operation period due to heavy concomitant diseases. In distant period 40 patients have been examined. One patient was found to have relapse. Most of the patients practice heavy physical work.
