[Syntopy of the abdominal organs in children with large ventral hernia]
Abstract:
The authors were studying syntopy of the abdominal organs in children with ventral hernias appearing after healing a great hernia of the umbilical cord in the neonatal period. Certain regular disturbances of the anatomical and functional state of the abdominal organs were detected. These data gave grounds for a new correcting operation allowing normal syntopy of the organs to be restored and their function to be improved. The operation was introduced into practice of the Surgical Clinic of the Leningrad Pediatric Medical Institute in 1975.
