Alloplasty with synthetic prosthesis has its advantages and shortcomings. The great number of wound complications limits the wide use of alloplastics in repair of defects in the abdominal wall in patients with large postoperative hernias. For reducing the incidence of wound complications, it is important to solve some problems: organization of herniological centers and specialized departments, industrial production of synthetic prostheses of various size in sterile packings, perfection of the alloplasty techniques, and observance of measures for the prevention of infection.
