Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

Background:

  • Ventral hernias are common surgical conditions.
  • Both laparoscopic and open surgical techniques are established treatment options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare laparoscopic versus open ventral hernia repair.
  • To assess hernia recurrence, postoperative recovery, and complications.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective randomized trial.
  • 58 patients with ventral hernias enrolled (31 laparoscopic, 27 open).
  • Median follow-up of 27.5 months.

Main Results:

  • Similar demographics between groups.
  • One recurrence in each group (laparoscopic and open).
