    Abstract:
    Radical operations for gigantic ventral hernias were performed on 75 patients using alloplasty with polypropylene gauze which were placed on the posterior leaves of the rectal abdominal muscle sheaths or by the method of sublay with a partial or complete suture of the hernia hilus. An original method of covering the prosthesis with a flap of the anterior wall of the rectal abdominal muscle is described. Complications after operation were noted in 9 (12%) patients. The follow-up period was from 1 to 5 years. Recurrent hernia was found in 1 patient (1.3%).
