IMMUNOLOGIC REACTIVITY IN PATIENTS WITH POSTOPERATIVE VENTRAL HERNIAS LIVING IN EUROPEAN NORTH OF RUSSIA
In the article, the results of the study of immunologic reactivity of patients with postoperative ventral hernias living in the subarctic area of the European North of Russia have been given. The study goal was proved by existing data on climatogeographic and environmental dependence of the immune system functioning in residents of northern latitudes with possible formation of immune imbalance and immune deficiency. The findings have shown that the patients with postoperative ventral hernias had initial balance and deficit of some cellular and humoral factors of immunity and immunoregulation before operative treatment, what worsened in early postoperative period.
