Surgical Treatment Of Incisional Ventral Hernias In Elderly And Senile Patients (Literature Review)

Aim of the study is to conduct an analysis of the diagnosis and treatment methods of postoperative ventral hernias in elderly and senile patients based on local and international articles. This review of surgical treatment of incisional ventral hernias used articles from Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar databases and conducted a general analysis. Thus, a review of national and international literature shows that a substantial number of studies focus on the surgical management of large and giant postoperative ventral hernias. However, limited research specifically addresses surgical treatment in elderly and senile patients. Insufficient emphasis is placed on the multifactorial etiology and the multidisciplinary characteristics of this patient population. Failure to account for polymorbidity in older patients with large and giant postoperative ventral hernias inevitably leads to a high incidence of postoperative complications.
