[Choice of plastic surgery in ventral hernias]

Morphological changes in the zone of plastic surgery with polypropylene graft were studied in experiment. Results of treatment of 195 patients with ventral hernias were analyzed. Study group consisted of 86 (44.1%) patients who underwent hernioplasty with subaponeurotic localization of the graft. Subaponeurotic hernioplasty was performed in 109 (55.9%) patients (control group). Algorithm of choice of plastic surgery's method in ventral hernia was developed with consideration of localization and size of hernia that permitted to reduce rate of early postoperative complications and to improve long-term results.
