Summary:The article presents an analysis of surgical treatment of 2155 patients with incarcerated hernias of the anterior abdominal wall. Pyo-septic complications took place in 24.3%. A comparison of results of treatment by traditional methods with those using solution of sodium hypochlorite (indirect electrochemical oxidation of blood) has shown that in the group of patient treated with sodium hypochlorite lethality was reduced from (18.8 +/- 0.2)% to (11.2 +/- 0.2)%, the amount of suppuration of the operative wound was 1.8 times less and the average number of bed-days was (4.5 +/- 0.2) less.
