The article is the first experience of using botulinum toxin type A in the treatment of giant postoperative ventral hernias. The article details the first experience with this technique: preoperative intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin type A, a detailed course of surgical treatment using a self-fixing implant of the Sublay type, and postoperative positive results. The new technique can be an alternative to separation plastics, the lack of which is a violation of the biomechanics of the anterior abdominal wall.
