[Meshed implants of polyvinylidene fluoride in treatment of abdominal wall hernias].

The authors analyze the results of experimental and clinical investigations for comparative studying a new meshed implant of polyvinylidene fluoride as an endoprosthesis of the anterior abdominal wall with postoperative hernias. It was shown that the polyvinylidene fluoride prosthesis is a good alternative of polypropylene prosthesis. Its physico-chemical properties allow reliable prostheses of the abdominal wall, and its biological compatibility is higher as compared with polypropylene prosthesis.

[Effectiveness of hernioplasty with using a polypropylene mesh implant in treatment of postoperative ventral hernias].

A new method of operative treatment of postoperative ventral hernias is proposed which provides reliable fixation of the implant along the whole line of the primary scar. It excludes its migration due to profound integration into all layers of the abdominal wall and reliable fixation at different levels and with sufficient distance from the hernia hilus. The method can be used for any size of the hernia hilus.
