“…[15] Though they are not a contraindication for laparoscopic repair. [24] Incisional hernias extending to suprapubic or xiphoid region[17] are difficult to obtain a good overlap and fixation of mesh. Another demanding situation is repair of parastomal hernia where dissection and mesh placement is around hollow viscera.…”

“…[2022255152] Most seromas resolve with time, some requiring eight to 12 weeks for complete resolution. [15171920222527] Majority of the authors considered the seromas for conservative management. Occasionally it will give an ominous appearance of recurrence.…”

“…[3841] In such cases ultrasound of abdomen can be an useful diagnostic tool. [1749] If followed-up using ultrasound, seromas have been reported to be ubiquitous.

Background:It has been more than a decade, since the introduction of laparoscopic management of ventral and incisional hernia. The purpose of this article was to systematically review the literature, analyze the results of Laparoscopic repair of ventral and incisional hernia and to ascertain its role.Materials and Methods:Pubmed was used for identifying the original articles. Both incisional and ventral hernia repair were included. Out of 145 articles extracted from Pubmed, 34 original studies were considered for review. More than three thousand patients were included in the review. Variables analyzed in the review were inpatient stay, defect size, mesh size, hematoma, seroma, wound infection, bowel perforation, obstruction, ileus, recurrence and pain. Qualitative analysis of the variables was carried out.Results:Seromas (5.45%) and post operative pain (2.75%) are the two common complications associated with this procedure. Recurrence rate was found to be 3.67%. Overall complication rate was 19.24%, with two deaths reported.Conclusion:The results suggest laparoscopic repair of ventral and incisional hernia as an effective procedure. Faster recovery and shorter in patient stay - makes it a feasible alternative to open repair.

Hypothesis: Ventral abdominal hernias represent a frequent and often formidable clinical problem, especially in obese patients. Because laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) results in few complications and a low recurrence rate, the use of minimally invasive techniques in this subgroup of patients may minimize perioperative complications and failure rates. Design: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data. Setting: Tertiary care hospital. Patients: One hundred sixty-three obese patients (body mass index [calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters], Ն30) who under-

Abdominal wall hernias resulting from prior incisions are a common surgical complication affecting hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. The negative consequences associated with abdominal hernias may be considerable, including pain, bowel incarceration, vascular disruption, organ loss, and death. Current clinical approaches for the treatment of abdominal wall hernias focus on the implantation of permanent biomaterial meshes or acellular xenografts. However, these approaches are not infrequently associated with postoperative infections, chronic sinuses, or small bowel obstruction. Furthermore, the most critical complication, hernia recurrence, has been well described and may occur in a large percentage of patients. Despite many advances in repair techniques, wound healing and skeletal muscle regeneration is limited in many cases, resulting in a decrease in abdominal wall tissue function and contributing to the high hernia recurrence rate. This review will give an overview of skeletal muscle anatomy, skeletal muscle regeneration, and herniation mechanisms, as well as discuss the current and future clinical solutions for abdominal wall hernia repair.
