Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia: A Prospective Study

Abstract

OBJECTIVEVentral hernias are repaired either by open or laparoscopic approach. Laparoscopic hernia repair provides early recovery and bigger mesh to be placed. STUDY DESIGNPatients evaluated between January 2014 and September 2015 for ventral hernias. Laparoscopic surgery was performed for 12 patients. RESULTSLaparoscopic ventral hernia repair was performed for 12 patients. There were conversions for adhesions. CONCLUSIONLaparoscopic hernia surgery is effective repair with early recovery and lesser adhesions. The composite meshes are better for laparoscopic repair.
