The choice of implant, always found attention in the views of scientists and surgeons. Synthetic materials have undergone significant changes as new technologies are discovered. But today, their use causes a lot of heated discussions, disputes and various responses. Therefore, the further use of implants is one of the promising and relevant areas of surgery.

Despite the sufficient number of works on the problem of the use of xenogeneic implants in hernioplasty in the world science, it is necessary to recognize the ambiguity of the data presented by different scientists, and the absence in these studies of the use of extracellular xenograft matrix in abdominal wall reconstruction determines the relevance of this study.

Aim of the study was to work out and evaluate the clinical value of a VERTIGO algorithm (skew deviation test, Romberg’s sign, walking test, head impulse test, nystagmus) in order to improve diagnosis and treatment of vertigo of central or peripheral origin.
