[Early and late results of treatment of patients with incarcerated inguinal hernia].

Under analysis are results of the treatment of 101 patients with incarcerated inguinal hernias. Thirteen patients died (12,9%), twelve of them were older than 60. In 19 patients (12 of them died) there were necrotic alterations in the incarcerated intestine. Remote results were followed after 34 operations (8 patients had recurrences). After 8 operations with the Kukudzhanov plasty no recurrences were observed. The authors believe that the execution of modern methods of plasty with the involvement of the Cooper's ligament when indicated can considerably improve remote results.
