Repair of Ventral Hernia by Pre-Peritoneal and Pre- Posterior Rectus Sheath Insertion of Prolene Mesh

Abstract

Background: Early treatment of hernia is very important to reduce the risk of obstruction and or strangulation. Ventral hernias include umbilical, epigastric, and incisional hernias and represent 10-15% of all primary hernias. Conventionally, theses hernias are treated by suture repair with a substantial rate of recurrence and this increase the demand for a better technique of repair. There is no exact protocol or consensus on how the repair should be carried out.
