Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2000
A retrospective study was carried out of patients who underwent laparoscopic ventral abdominal wall hernia repair (excluding groin hernias) between January 1994 and January 1999.Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair was performed on 202 patients for defects ranging from 1.5 cm to 12 cm in diameter. Of these, 35 patients had multiple hernial defects. After

Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair

Disease-a-Month, 2004
entral abdominal hernias carry a significant risk of incarceration and trangulation. Open, tension-free repair of ventral hernias has been the tandard of treatment for many years; however, laparoscopic ventral ernia repair (LVHR) has emerged within the last decade as an excellent lternative to open repair.

Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair

Surgical Endoscopy, 2003
I read with interest the experience from the Cleveland Clinic with laparoscopic ventral hernia repair [2]. They reported a 17% recurrence at a mean follow-up period of 30months and emphasized the importance of long-term follow-up evaluation. I am not surprised by their high recurrence rate.

Emergent Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repairs

Journal of Surgical Research, 2018
Emergent repairs of incarcerated and strangulated ventral hernia repairs (VHR) are associated with higher perioperative morbidity and mortality than those repaired electively. Despite increasing utilization of minimally invasive techniques in elective repairs, the role for laparoscopy in emergent VHR is not well defined, and its feasibility has been ...

Obesity and laparoscopic repair of ventral hernias

Surgical Endoscopy, 2001
Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) is gaining acceptance and compares favorably with open repair. Patients who are morbidly obese (MO) traditionally have been considered poor surgical candidates for ventral hernia repair because of their associated comorbidities and risk of postoperative wound infection and hernia recurrence.

The laparoscopic repair of suprapubic ventral hernias

Surgical Endoscopy, 2004
The complexity of dissection and the close proximity of the hernia to bony, vascular, nerve, and urinary structures make the laparoscopic repair of suprapubic hernias (LRSPH) a formidable operation. We performed a prospective evaluation of the outcomes of patients undergoing LRSPH.The study population comprised 36 patients undergoing LRSPH from July ...

Laparoscopic repair of ventral incisional hernia

ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2002
Background: Laparoscopic repair of ventral incisional hernias was first reported in 1993. Since then, there have been sporadic case reports and small series published about this procedure, but it has not been widely adopted. Newer types of composite prosthetic mesh may reduce the potential problem of bowel adhesion.

Laparoscopic geometrical repair of ventral hernia

The Surgeon, 2006
Recurrence after ventral hernia repair is a common problem worldwide. Laparoscopic mesh repair has been associated with fewer recurrences and also minimal morbidity. The technique of the laparoscopic repair is based on the principle described by Stoppa, however the hernial sac is not dissected and is left behind.
