[Open alloplasty of postoperative ventral hernias].

Early and long-term results of the open ventral postoperative hernia alloplasty in 118 patients have been analyzed. The onlay and sublay techniques of the hernioplasty have been employed. The frequency of complications, local status and quality of life were studied a year after the operation. The overall postoperative morbidity and recurrence rates were reliably less after the sublay mesh implantation. The method has also provided better quality of life and local status characteristics.
