Laproscopic incisional hernia

Background Ventral hernias are usually repaired by an open or laparoscopic approach. Quality of life after ventral hernia repair is a very important but often underestimated parameter. This prospective observational study was conducted to assess the quality of life and other related parameters after all types of ventral hernia repair, mainly between open and laparoscopic repairs.  Objectives This study aimed to determine the quality of life after ventral hernia repairs. We also analysed and compared various parameters such as outcomes and satisfaction, postoperative pain, and complications between laparoscopic and open ventral hernia repair...

Hernias are a rare complication following muscle-splitting dorsal lumbotomy surgery. At our centre, before the introduction of laparoscopic surgery, donor nephrectomy for renal transplantation was performed via a dorsal lumbotomy approach. We present a case of transperitoneal laproscopic repair of a dorsal lumbotomy incisional hernia following donor nephrectomy using a quilted 2-sided expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) mesh. The procedure was uncomplicated and required 2 hours operating time to complete...

BACKGROUND: This study reports medium-term outcomes of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair. STUDY DESIGN: Laparoscopic repair was performed on 721 patients with ventral hernia. After adhesiolysis the defect was closed with no. 1 polyamide suture or loop. This was followed by reinforcement with intraperitoneal onlay repair with a bilayered mesh. RESULTS: Laproscopic repair of ventral hernia was performed on 613 females and 108 males. Of these, 185 (25...
