[Surgical treatment of postoperative ventral hernia using a modification of the Napalkov method]

A new modified method of plasty of practically all sizes of postoperative hernias in different areas of the abdomen has been developed on the basis of N. I. Napalkov's principle which is based on doubling aponeurosis and creating muscular defense of the aponeurotic suture. Clinical experience of the treatment of 125 patients with postoperative ventral hernias shows its use to be promising and expedient for a wide introduction into clinical practice.
