Infrared Thermometry Method in Assessment of a Postoperative Period in Abdominal Wall Plasty for Hernias

The results of examination and follow-up of 69 patients with hernias in a postoperative period have been presented. An infrared thermo­me­ter has been used to assess a postoperative period in these patients for the first time. An infrared thermometry method is a simple, noninvasive technique enabling to assess objectively a local status, prognosticate the development of complications after herniotomy, determine a possible course of a postoperative period and timely correct a surgical approach.
