EVOLUTION OF COMPONENT SEPARATION TECHNIQUE (REVIEW)

Abstract

The problem of treatment of incisional ventral hernias is currently very relevant. The appearance of a hernial defect in the area of a previous operation is one of the most frequent long-term complications of any surgical treatment. Component separation techniques are the most modern and promising methods for the treatment of large ventral hernias. The review focuses on the main stages in the development of separation technique, as well as the results of treating patients with incisional ventral hernias using various options for posterior separation repair, which are currently frequently used. It has been established that posterior component separation is an effective and safe method of treatment, however, there is currently insufficient data on the long-term postoperative period and patients quality of life.
