CLINICAL AND LABORATORY ASSESSMENT OF ONLAY ALLOPLASTY USING LIGHT AND HEAVY POLYPROPYLENE MESHES IN VENTRAL HERNIAS

The article discusses the outcomes associated with the use of polypropylene-light and polypropylene-heavy endoprostheses in the allohernioplasty of ventral hernias conducted in the onlay position. A comparative analysis of the two types of polypropylene materials revealed superior biocompatibility of the polypropylene-light endoprosthesis (designated as the main group) when compared to the polypropylene-heavy variant (designated as the control group). Notably, the main group exhibited a less pronounced exudative phase of inflammation and a more rapid onset of the proliferation phase. The incidence of postoperative wound complications was recorded at 9.6±3.5% in the main group and 17.2±4.8% in the control group.
