[Adhesive processes in large and huge postoperative ventral hernias].

High incidence, severity and wide distribution of adhesive processes affecting the abdominal organs and the content of the hernial sacs in 250 patients with big and great postoperative ventral hernias were closely associated with the features, clinical manifestations of the disease and character of treatment. The author's experience shows that prolonged postoperative purgation, maximum possible disjoining of adhesions, early activization of the patients and of the evacuo-motor function of the gastrointestinal tract in the early postoperative period are necessary components of the complex surgical treatment of patients with such pathology.
