Abstract
Introduction. Hernioplasty remains one of the most common surgical interventions. The “gold standard” in our time is tension – free hernioplasty using mesh implants, which, on the one hand, has reduced the number of relapses, but on the other hand is associated with the development of postoperative complications caused by infection of the prosthesis. The literature provides data on the preservation of mesh implants in the event of early complications.
Objectives. To study the available literature on postoperative complications after hernioplasty using mesh implants.
Materials and methods. Analysis of available literature data.
Results. The available literature data of domestic and foreign authors on postoperative complications after hernioplasty with the use of mesh implants are analyzed. The question of preserving the implant in the late period remains open.
Conclusion. An analysis of the literature data has shown that the use of LNP to preserve a mesh implant in case of late complications remains an urgent issue.
