IMMUNOLOGICAL FEATURES OF PATIENTS WITH POSTOPERATIVE VENTRAL HERNIAS

Abstract

Postoperative ventral hernias (PVH) remain one of the most challenging problems in abdominal surgery. The high frequency of complications, recurrences, and nonspecific immunological reactions necessitates the search for effective methods of prevention and treatment. Modern hernioplasty techniques using synthetic materials, such as polypropylene meshes and titanium implants, provide high effectiveness; however, the selection of the optimal material and assessment of the patient’s immune response remain relevant issues.
