The study volume of abdominal cavity in patients with ventral hernias before and after hernioplasty

We have completed 78 operations about giant hernias of the anterior abdominal wall using the new method of hernioplasty. Modeling of direct muscle sheaths was performed using a mesh endoprosthesis. We have compared of sizes (frontal, sagittal and cranio-caudal) and the volume of the abdominal cavity before and after operation according to computed tomography. The obtained results show that the recommended method hernioplasty does not reduce the volume of the abdominal cavity and may be considered a rational surgery with giant hernias.
