Abstract
Introduction: Hernia disease remains one of the most common human pathologies, and the incidence of inguinal hernias reaches 75–80 %. The success of treating patients with inguinal hernias lies in the rational choice of hernioplasty taking into account the anatomical and topographic features of the muscular-aponeurotic structures of the inguinal canal.
Materials and methods: During 2018–2025, 220 patients with inguinal hernia were operated on at the surgical department of the State Republican Clinical Hospital of Tiraspol (Transnistria, Moldova), who underwent combined autoplasty of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal with a transverse relaxing incision of the anterior wall of the rectus sheath with retrofunicular and retromuscular autodermoplasty. Of these, 191 patients underwent ultrasound in the pre- and postoperative periods.
Results: The thickness of the rectus muscle on the side of the performed hernioplasty reached (19.1 ± 1.4) mm, on the opposite side (17.1 ± 1.25) mm, and in patients with inguinal hernia (15.4 ± 2.9) mm.
Conclusions: After inguinal hernioplasty using the proposed method, the contractile activity of the rectus muscle is 10.9 % better than on the opposite side and 19.6 % better than in patients before the operation.
