BACKGROUND: To date, the problem of relapse-free treatment in herniology has not been solved. In recent years, the development and wider application of modern technologies in herniology, including endovideosurgical, has been noted. The principles of preparation for surgical interventions, postoperative management and the choice of surgical treatment have also changed significantly, which has affected the improvement of the quality of surgical care for patients with ventral hernias.
AIM: To determine the clinical effectiveness of various methods of surgical treatment of patients with ventral hernias by conducting a systematic review and identifying differences associated with statistical heterogeneity in the study findings.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: More than 1400 domestic publications devoted to surgical treatment of ventral hernias have been preliminarily studied. Taking into account the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the review included 35 domestic scientific publications dated from 2007 to 2020. 8906 cases of surgical treatment of patients with ventral hernias have been analyzed to assess the results of treatment and the clinical effectiveness of various methods.
RESULTS: The wider introduction of endovideosurgical operations into practice has demonstrated the best result in assessing the risk of relapses and postoperative complications. However, the total share of endovideosurgical operations remains small compared to other types of surgical treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Standardized approaches to the management of surgical patients and the prevention of possible complications due to the principles of evidence-based medicine can improve the overall effectiveness of the treatment of patients with ventral hernias.
The problem of treatment for strangulated incisional hernia does not lose its relevance due to the large number of postoperative complications and high mortality rates, which significantly exceed these indicators in selective surgery. One of the solutions to this problem is to identify patients with a high risk of strangulation, which will allow you to perform the operation in a timely manner and avoid possible complications. The most relevant issue is the timing of surgery in patients with postoperative hernias after strangulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
