An implantable electrical stimulator‐alloprosthesis produced better regeneration of connective tissue for prevention of recurrences in patients after surgery for postoperative hernias. The experiments demonstrated that the use of the electrical stimulator‐alloprosthesis resulted in significant improvement in connective tissue regeneration, tissue proliferation through the prosthesis and in the speed of postoperative suture healing. The device was successfully used in 30 patients. The period of treatment decreased by an average of 10 days. The method is recommended for wide clinical use, especially in cases of postoperative recurrent hernias and in patients with suppressed regenerative ability of connective tissue.
