INTRODUCTION: A meta-analysis of studies has shown that the incidence of ventral hernias varies from 4 to 10%. During the last twenty years, the use of laparoscopic repair of ventral and other hernias of the abdominal wall has rapidly increased. PRESENTATION OF CASES: From January 2011 to March 2020 101 patients underwent laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR). The diameter of the hernial defect intraoperatively was in average 6.22 ± 5.17 cm (SD) (range 2-30 cm)...

BACKGROUND: Port site hernias (PSH) are underreported following laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR). Most occur at the site of laterally placed 10-12-mm ports used to introduce large pieces of mesh. One alternative is to place the large port through the ventral hernia defect; however, there is potential for increased risk of surgical site infection (SSI). This study evaluates the outcomes when introducing mesh through a 10-12-mm port placed through the hernia defect. METHODS: This was a retrospective case series of patients who underwent LVHR in three prospective trials from 2014-2017 at one institution...

OBJECTIVES: Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) has been shown to decrease wound complications and length of stay (LOS) but results in more postoperative discomfort. The benefits of LVHR for the growing geriatric population are unclear. The aim of our study is to evaluate long-term outcomes and quality of life (QOL) after LVHR in the geriatric population. METHODS: A prospectively collected single-center database was queried for all patients who underwent LVHR (1999-2019)...

BACKGROUND: The merits of laparoscopic (LVHR) and open preperitoneal ventral hernia repair (OPPVHR) have been debated for more than 2 decades. Our aim was to determine peri-operative and long-term outcomes in large hernias. METHODS: A prospective, institutional database at a tertiary hernia center was queried for patients undergoing LVHR and OPPVHR. One-to-one propensity score matching was performed for hernia defect size and follow-up. RESULTS: Three hundred and fifty-two LVHR and OPPVHR patients were identified with defect sizes closely matched between laparoscopic (182...

BACKGROUND: Graduating surgery residents often feel unprepared to practice autonomously in the current era of surgical training. We implemented an integrated simulation curriculum to improve residents' autonomy and increase their confidence to practice independently. In this study, we chose a laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) as our pilot operation to test proof of concept and on which we would construct our integrated curriculum. STUDY DESIGN: The curriculum included a web-based cognitive component, inanimate model simulation session with follow-up at 2 weeks and 6 months, and self-confidence questionnaires...

BACKGROUND: Ventral hernia repair (VHR) is a commonly performed procedure and is especially prevalent in patients who have undergone previous open abdominal surgery: up to 28% of patients who have undergone laparotomy will develop a ventral hernia. There is increasing interest in robotic-assisted VHR (RVHR) as a minimally invasive approach to VHR not requiring myofascial release and in RVHR outcomes relative to outcomes associated with laparoscopic VHR (LVHR). We hypothesized real-world evidence from the Americas Hernia Society Quality Collaborative (AHSQC) database will indicate comparable clinical outcomes from RVHR and LVHR approaches not employing myofascial release...

REVIEW
David Earle
Robotic-assisted laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (RA-LVHR) has many options. Before applying these techniques, it is important to identify the patient's goals for hernia repair, align yourself with those goals, and apply a technique appropriate for the clinical scenario, and most likely to meet the goals. Fundamental principles of hernia repair must be maintained: avoiding thermal injury to hollow viscera, adequate dissection of abdominal wall, appropriate mesh:defect ratio, stronger fixation where overlap is limited, and more overlap where fixation points are weak...

Background: Simulation plays an important role in surgical training. We developed a simulator for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) surgery based on porcine tissue, characterized by low cost and high reality. Methods: Our LVHR model is based on porcine tissue mounted in a human mannequin. The anterior abdominal wall is constructed to allow laparoscopic training. Training sessions are conducted in a simulated operating room environment. Results: During preliminary tests, the LVHR simulator was found to be highly realistic in terms of tissue feedback, instrumentation usage, and performing the key steps of the LVHR procedure...

BACKGROUND: The most common technique described for robotic ventral hernia repair (RVHR) is intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM). With the evolution of robotics, advanced techniques including retro rectus mesh reinforcement, and component separation are being popularized. However, these procedures require more dissection, and longer operative times. In this study we reviewed our experience with robotic ventral/incisional hernia repair (RVHR) with hernia defect closure (HDC) and IPOM. METHODS: Retrospective chart review and follow-up of 31 consecutive cases of ventral/incisional hernia treated between August 2011 and December 2018...

BACKGROUND: Symptomatic ventral herniation is a common clinical presentation. The treatment, whether elective or as an emergency, can be difficult and a variety of surgical repairs are utilised. Intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) involves the placement of a reinforcing prosthesis, usually supported by primary closure of the defect. Intra-abdominal adhesions have been highlighted as a potential complication in utilising this form of mesh placement. Several methods of laparoscopic mesh placement outside of the peritoneal cavity are gaining prominence as potential alternatives to IPOM...
