Morgagni hernia occurs after a congenital retrosternal diaphragmatic defect; it is a rare form of diaphragmatic hernia (1-3% of cases). In general, this pathology is diagnosed in children; in adults it is frequently discovered in emergency or incidentally. Methods: We prospectively evaluated a series of 6 patients admitted to department of surgery IGIMS. Results: Out of 6 patients the laparoscopic approach was used in all cases: one conversion was recorded due to the tight adherences of the herniated viscera (gastric, colon, epiplon). In 4 cases, the surgical cure of hernia was performed by suture and in 2 cases with prosthesis: dual mesh in one case and polypropylene mesh in another case. We did not register morbidity and the mean postoperative stay was 4 days (range 2-6 days). Conclusions: Hernia Morgagni betrays a rare pathology. The most common is asymptomatic but in complicated cases it is a cause of acute surgical abdomen. Surgical treatment is indicated even for asymptomatic cases due to serious complications Morgagni hernia may develop. The laparoscopic approach is ideal, as reduction of viscera in the abdomen is easy and the defect will be repaired by suturing or using a prosthesis, depending on its size.

Abstract. In the period from 2001 to 2017, 1419 patients with ventral and postoperative ventral hernia were operated on. The unsatisfactory results of the surgical treatment of this pathology were due to a number of disadvantages: the choice of an inadequate method of hernioplasty in a specific clinical situation, an incomplete revision of the muscle-aponeurotic layer of the anterior abdominal wall, especially in patients with postoperative veterinary hernias, concomitant syndrome of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia and obesity, and weak points, the wrong choice of the type of mesh implant (“light” or “heavy” polypropylene mesh) and its size, the choice of an inappropriate type of suture material, as well as the high invasiveness of surgical intervention. Based on the given causes of complications in the operated patients with a high risk of their development, we have made a technical improvement of the existing methods of hernioplasty and development of new ones, which significantly reduced the number of postoperative complications and increased the safety of performing surgical interventions in patients with ventral and postoperative ventral hernia. Purpose. Based on the results of the analysis of surgical treatment of patients with comorbid conditions for primary and incisional ventral hernias to develop technical prerequisites for improving the safety of surgical interventions in this category of patients. Methods. Іn the period from 2001 to 2017, an in-depth comprehensive clinical-instrumental and laboratory examination of 1419 patients with primary ventral hernia (PVH) and postoperative ventral hernia (PVH) was conducted. The patients were divided into groups according to the periods of surgical treatment of patients. For this purpose, two periods were formed: from 2001 to 2009 and from 2010 to 2017. At the first period, 597 (42.07%) patients were examined and operated on. These patients formed a comparison group. The main group corresponding to patients who were treated in the period from 2010 to 2017 was 822 (57.93%) people. Results. Developed techniques for performing retromuscular allogernioplasty, which were based on controlled visualization of suturing when fixing polypropylene mesh to the posterior leaf of the vagina of the rectus muscle, allowed us to reliably and safely place and secure the implant in the retromuscular space, significantly reduce the trauma and duration of surgery. Kind of treatment using the mesh allograft with a liposomal complex with included antibacterial and immunosuppressive agents during the operation on the "onlay" method significantly reduced the number of local infectious complications. The location of the PRF membrane over the polypropylene mesh during retromuscular allogernioplasty improved neoangiogenesis at the mesh implantation site, increased fibroblast activity and the formation of collagen fibers around the mesh material, which provided maximum integration of the "light" abdominal wall with polypropylene tissue. Conclusion. These features of the dynamics of the used methods of surgical interventions and types of polypropylene nets with an individualized approach to each patient were reflected in a significant reduction in the number of both early local and general late postoperative complications, which improved the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with primary postoperative ventral hernias.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of subcostal incisional hernia repair using polypropylene mesh, the technical aspects of musculo-aponeurotic reconstruction, routine fixation of supra-aponeurotic mesh and follow-up for five years.METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study that assessed 24 patients undergoing subcostal incisional hernia repair with use of polypropylene mesh; 15 patients (62.5%) were female; ages ranged from 33 to 82, and 79.1% had comorbidities.RESULTS: Early complications: three cases (12.5%) of wound infection, three cases (12.5%) of seroma, one case (4.1%) of hematoma; and one case (4.1%) of wound dehiscence. Late complications occurred in one case (4.1%) of hernia recurrence attributed to technical failure in the fixation of the mesh and in one case (4.1%) of chronic pain. There were no cases of exposure or rejection of the mesh.CONCLUSION: The subcostal incisional hernia, though not very relevant, requires adequate surgical treatment. Its surgical correction involves rebuilding the muscle-aponeurotic defect, supra-aponeurotic fixation of polypropylene mesh, with less complexity and lower rates of complications and recurrences.

Introduction. The problem of female genital prolapse (GP) remains in the sportlight of gynecologists, because despite the variety of surgical methods, there are still recurrences of the disease, which are associated not only with the failure of the restored ligaments, fascia, muscles, damaged pelvic floor and perineum, but with the imperfection of the operation. The solution of this problem is especially important in the treatment of patients with extragenital pathology, in particular obesity. The purpose: to optimize the treatment of genital prolapse in obese patients by determining an individual approach to planning surgical treatment taking into account the degree of obesity and concomitant pathology. Materials and methods. We examined 65 patients of which 20 had genital prolapse and obesity (main group), 25 had genital prolapse and normal weight (comparison group), 20 women did not have gynecological diseases and extragenital pathology made up control group. To diagnose obesity and determine its degree we calculated body mass index (BMI). To determine the degree of GP its quantitative assessment was used (POP-Q; 1996). Surgical intervention included transvaginal extirpation of the uterus without appendages, anterior colporrhaphy, colpoperineoraphy with levatoplasty, sacrospinal colpopexy. Transabdominal and laparoscopic colposacropexy in obese women were not used due to the presence of relative contraindications for laparoscopy (cardiovascular disease, respiratory pathology, adhesions, the condition after hernias’ surgery). Therefore, all operations on women with GP and obesity were performed transvaginally due to the inability to perform abdominal access. In comparison group transvaginal surgery was performed. All the groups under study were representative. Before the use of polypropylene mesh "Polymesh" to minimize purulent-septic complications associated with the use of synthetic prostheses aquadissection was performed with 0.9% saline with the addition of 1 g of ceftriaxone per 200 ml. After the operation, the women used suppositories with hyaluronic acid (revitax). Results. The results of surgical treatment have been analyzed and the following data were obtained: recurrences in the main and in the comparison group were 4% (2 women in whom operations were performed with the use of their own tissues without  mesh prosthesis). Infectious complications, dyspareunia and pelvic pain were not observed. Conclusions. Surgical treatment of GP in obese women by using polypropylene mesh "Polymesh" for colposacropexy after transvaginal uterine extirpation increases the effectiveness of treatment  and redduces the number of recurrences. Hydropreparation of the mesh with an antibacterial agent and postoperative use of hyaluronidase intravaginally helps to reduce purulent-septic complications of surgery and improves the patients’quality of life.

Surgical treatment of patients with ventral hernias remains an urgent problem in abdominal surgery. More than 20 million operations are performed annually in the world for hernias. The urgency and complexity of the problem is based on the fact that inadequately performed surgery leads to a recurrence of the disease in 14-54% of cases. The aim of the work is to study the results of surgical treatment of patients with ventral hernias using mesh endoprostheses. The results of a retrospective analysis of 437 hernioplasty performed with hernias of various localizations for the period from 2010 to 2014 were used. Patients were classified by hernia localization and divided into groups depending on the methods of alloplasty. The duration of observation of patients operated by using polypropylene mesh ranged from 6 month to 3 years. An analysis of the complications that developed after alloplasty of the inguinal, postoperative, umbilical hernias and hernias of the linea alba was carried out. Our clinical experience confirms that the operation of Liechtenstein is rightly considered to be the “gold standart” for the treatment of inguinal hernias. However, the use of polypropylene mesh in the treatment of inguinal hernias leads to the development of postsurgical wound complications. Placed next to the polypropylene mesh peritoneum flap plays the role of internal drainage, prevents the development of seromas in the wound. The use of a new inguinal alloplasty technique reduced the number of postoperative complications. Also, the best immediate and long-term results are obtained by alloplasty using a sublay method. In patients with postoperative hernias operated by sublay method, no recurrences were observed and they showed the best quality of life.
