CURRENT STATUS OF THE PROBLEM OF PREVENTION OF POST-NEOPLASTIC VENTRAL HERNIAS

Background. At the current stage of surgical development, the problem of prevention of postoperative ventral hernias after abdominal surgeries remains unsolved. The research aims to identify the most effective approaches to the prevention of postoperative ventral hernias and to improve surgical treatment outcomes. Methods. A systematic analysis of existing publications, scientific articles, and clinical guidelines focused on the prevention and treatment of postoperative ventral hernias after abdominal surgeries will be conducted. Special attention will be paid to studies describing various surgical plastic techniques and the application of biological materials. Results. To systematize existing methods for the prevention and treatment of postoperative ventral hernias by analyzing their effectiveness and safety. To identify the most suitable surgical techniques and materials that reduce the risk of developing postoperative ventral hernias. To highlight the need for further research in the application of biological materials and new technologies in the prevention and treatment of postoperative ventral hernias. Conclusion. New technologies and materials, such as biocompatible meshes and antimicrobial sutures, have the potential to enhance treatment outcomes. However, systematic and standardized prevention and diagnostic methods are essential for equipping surgeons to mitigate postoperative ventral hernias risk. Research on collagen status, its various types in connective tissue, and new diagnostic methods will be crucial for improving patient quality of life and reducing surgical risks.
