Summary
This study presents a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique for incisional hernia repair using a DualMesh. The novel approach ensures secure mesh placement and demonstrates no recurrence in a 2-year follow-up, offering an effective solution for incisional hernia repair.
Area of Science:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Incisional hernia repair incidence is rising globally.
- Existing methods pose challenges in reliability and invasiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a novel, minimally invasive laparoscopic technique for incisional hernia repair.
- To evaluate the efficacy and reliability of this new intraperitoneal onlay method.
Main Methods:
- A laparoscopic herniorrhaphy using a two-trocar, intraperitoneal onlay technique with DualMesh.
- Mesh insertion and fixation involved extra- and endocorporeal manipulation with sutures and endo-Helical Fasteners.
Main Results:
- The technique successfully repaired incisional and ventral hernias with secure mesh anchoring.
- No postoperative complications or hernia recurrence were observed during a follow-up of up to 2 years and 1 month.
Conclusions:
- This laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay technique offers an easy, quick, and reliable method for mesh orientation and fixation.
- The technique is applicable to most laparoscopic ventral hernia repairs, improving outcomes.
