Criteria for disease prediction hernia

Modern herniology presents innovational field of surgery. Among the causes of hernia development the disturbance of collagen metabolism plays a great role, and leads to heterogeneous maturation of the connective tissue and disorder of its structural characteristics. Investigation of epidermal growth factor polymorphism and connective tissue collagen contents in skin with the help of polarization microscopy makes it possible to prognosis of hernia disease development and to decrease complications rate in early post operation and rehabilitation periods.
