Obesity represents one of the most serious global health problems, with its prevalence increasing worldwide. In the Russian Federation, the number of patients diagnosed with obesity has increased from 1.2 million in 2010 to 2.2 million in 2022. Moreover, obesity is one of the leading factors in the development of anterior abdominal wall hernias and represents a certain difficulty in determining surgical treatment tactics.
