ABSTRACT
Alloplasty with polypropylene meshes was fulfilled in 153 patients with ventral hernias. Most frequently the prosthesis was placed in the preperitoneal fatty tissue under the sutured muscular-aponeurotic margins of the hernia hilus (61 patients) or in sheathes of the rectus muscle of the abdomen (48 patients). Best results were obtained after implantation of the mesh in sheathes of the rectus muscle of the abdomen. The greatest number of complications and recurrences was obtained in alloplasty above aponeurosis.

An experience with treatment of 61 patients with inguinal hernias on whom 69 alloplastic hemioplasties had been performed was analyzed. For the most part the Lichtenstein method of alloplasty with polypropylene gauzes was used. Good immediate and long-term results were obtained. No recurrences were observed during the three year follow-up. Alloplasty should be used more widely for the treatment of inguinal hernias.

Medical examinations of children and adults have shown that ENT diseases amount to 230 and 190 per 1000, respectively. In terms of types of ENT diseases, chronic tonsilitis (38.4%) and adenoids (23.3%) are most prevalent among children and neurosensory hypoacusis (31.1%) and chronic pharyngitis (19.3%)--among the adult population. Trends in the prevalence and types of chronic ENT diseases have been identified.
