Preperitoneal space, is it an ideal layer for endoscopic sublay repair of ventral hernia?

Abstract

Earlier, the major surgical treatments for ventral hernia were open sublay repair and laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (Lap-IPOM) repair. Sublay is an effective and safe plane. [1] Recently, some surgeons successfully transferred open sublay repair to endoscopic sublay repair (ESR), which may avoid the wound events after open procedure and potential risks of intra-abdominal injury and mesh complications from Lap-IPOM repair.
