[Tension-free plasty in the surgery of abdominal wall hernias].

The article presents an experience with application of tension-free plasty of the anterior abdominal wall using reticular endoprostheses. New endoprostheses of Reperen are developed and applied, a method of sutureless fixation of polypropylene net in the abdominal wall tissues is proposed when performing plasty for great ventral hernias. Advantages of new methods are shown compared with analogs both in selective and in emergency surgery, in different age groups of patients.

[Experimental-clinical reasons for application of endoprostheses of reperen for plasty of the abdominal wall].

The work presents results of a morphological investigation of tissues in the zone of implantation of synthetic material in creation of experimental model of ventral hernia. A comparative characteristic of a reaction of tissues on reperen and polypropylene is given. A number of principal advantages of reperen as compared with polypropylene were detected in plasty of hernial hilus.
