ABDOMINAL PLASTY, XXI CENTURY SURGERY

The pace of modern life explains the desire of man to be slim and trim, sports and aesthetically natural body shape has already become a necessity. However, the number of patients with deformities of the anterior abdominal wall caused by sagging skin in this area, sagging abdomen, diastases of rectal abdominal muscles, presence of ventral hernia and various deforming postoperative scars that require surgical treatment continues to grow today. These changes to the anterior abdominal wall are, as usual, combined and have a single pathogenesis, covering the entire abdominal wall, mutually supporting each other, so they should be understood as a single pathological process called anatomical-functional insufficiency of the anterior abdominal wall. One in six persons of working age suffers from various manifestations of anatomical-functional failure of the anterior abdominal wall, and the most common being females. One of the reasons for the development of this process is the frequent births, which have been particularly characteristic in recent years, due to the introduction of the presidential programme to improve the level of demography in the country, physical inactivity and changes in lifestyle and nutrition.
