Summary

The research is aimed at identifying factors of herniation after median laparotomy and developing surgical methods for preventing postoperative ventral hernias and eventrations.

Detailed description

At the first stage, an analysis of the prevalence of postoperative ventral hernias in patients after median laparotomies in urgent surgery will be performed, with the identification of factors contributing to the development of postoperative ventral hernias. At the next stage, the investigators will search for the most reliable methods of suturing the white line of the abdomen, taking into account the risk of hernia formation, with their implementation in patients operated in an emergency through median laparotomic access in comparison with traditionally used methods. In conclusion, an algorithm will be developed for selecting the method of surgical prevention of postoperative ventral hernias, taking into account the risk of their development.

Conditions
