Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

Background:

  • Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) is an emerging technique for treating ventral hernias.
  • This study presents the initial local experience with LVHR and reviews existing literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.
  • To assess the feasibility and efficacy of LVHR in a local patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients undergoing LVHR between December 1998 and May 2002.
  • Evaluation of operative time, hospital stay, complications, and recurrence rates.

Main Results:

  • Twenty patients (16 female, 4 male; average age 54) underwent LVHR.

  • Mean operative time was 117 minutes; mean hospital stay was 2 days.
  • A 5.0% recurrence rate was observed with a mean follow-up of 14.9 months; two minor complications occurred.

    • Conclusions:

    • LVHR is a feasible surgical option for ventral hernias.
    • The procedure demonstrates potential for successful treatment and reduced surgical morbidity.
