The aim: To study the effectiveness of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for laparoscopic hernioplasty (LH) in patients with ventral hernias (VH). Materials and methods: 190 patients with VH after laparoscopic prosthetic hernioplasty with intraperitoneal mesh placement (IPOM) were included in the study and divided into two groups. The study group (ERAS group) included 92 (48.4%) patients to whom the ERAS protocol was applied, the control group (preERAS group) – 98 (51.6%) patients. The width of the hernia was more than 10 cm in 25 (13.2%) patients of the ERAS group. For them botulinum toxin type A (BTA) was injected into the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall 4 weeks before the operation. In the postoperative period, the duration of the operation, hospital length of stay, the intensity of the pain syndrome and well-being, the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) on the first postoperative day were evaluated. Results: After the introduction of BTA in 25 patients of ERAS group, the hernial defect decreased by an average of 4.6±0.62 mm and in all cases became less than 10 cm (р
