| Abstract [eng] |
Since the 19th century in the last decade of the 20th century, when the modern era of hernia surgery began, hernia operations were performed without alloplastic materials by anatomically reconstructing the inguinal canal wall layers. Currently, surgeons are aware of the importance of alloplastic materials in hernioplasty, which can be performed via open or laparoscopic method. This article gives an overview of hernia surgery using alloplastic materials in 2001–2003, 2006 and 2008 in the hospitals of Vilnius region fusing the Society of Vilnius surgeons. Specially prepared questionnaires were sent to staff of hospitals connecting Vilnius Surgeons Society. The questionnaire had the following questions: how many hernioplasties were performed in general, how many inguinal hernioplasties were performed, what operation methods were used, etc. By aggregating of all the data we found that a lot more of alloplasties are done for primary inguinal hernia. The same is with recurrent hernias. However, according to the data collected from questionnaires, still not all hernioplasties are done with surgical mesh. |
