[Biological implants for hernioplasty]

The combined method of hernioplasty with the use of biologic and sunthetic implants has been worked out. 12 patients have been operated on: the "open" technique was used in 5 patients, the rest 7 have been operated on laparoscopically. The use of dura mater as an implant for hernioplasty allows avoiding tissue tension by muscle sheath plasty. By the combined use of the synthetic implant and dura mater plate, the latter assumes the mechanical load, preventing the hernia recurrence. Besides, the dura mater plate isolates the synthetic implant from the abdominal cavity and subcutaneous fat. No postoperative complications or lethal outcomes were registered.
