57 patients with constricted abdominal hernia and diagnosed metabolic syndrome were examined. They were performed the urgent hernia defect plastics with polypropylene mesh Linteks-Esfil (St. Petersburg). Patients were divided into two clinical groups: clinical group I (20) included patients in the postoperative period treated with conventional comprehensive conservative treatment. Clinical group II (37) consisted of patients treated with 2.5% solution of 2 ml tiotriazolini in muscle and metformin in a dose of 500 mg / day for metabolic syndrome correction in addition to above mentioned conventional treatment. Lipid metabolism indices improved on the 7th day in 59.2% of patients in clinical group II and only in 15% of patients in clinical group I. Postoperative wound complications such as seromas and infiltrations developed in 6.3% of patients and were eliminated by conservative methods of treatment. Patients of group II tolerated postoperative period better. Average duration of hospital stay decreased by 2.03±0.2 bed days. Thus, the treatment of patients with constricted hernia of anterior abdominal wall and metabolic syndrome should be in complex with hernia defect plastics by propylene mesh and medicamentous correction of metabolism disorders.
