Surgical treatment of postoperative ventral hernia remains a topical problem of abdominal surgery.

The purpose of this publication is to demonstrate the effectiveness of combined hernioplasty in a patient with a large ventral hernia and purulent complications of Crohn's disease on the background of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. It has been established that the method of abdominal wall reconstruction, combining plastic with local tissues with autodermoplasty, is effective, low-cost, can be used when the possibilities of alloplasty are limited due to inflammatory phenomena in the field of surgical intervention.
