Objective:
To report the results of tension-free repair of incisional and ventral hernias by stoppa's sublay technique.
Methods:

Results:
Wound infection was found in 6.5% and seroma formation in 2.5%. Mortality was 0.5%. No recurrence was seen during the follow-up period of 2 years. No septic mesh was removed in the series.
Conclusion:
The tension-free repair of incisional and ventral hernias with stoppa's sublay mesh repair technique is safe, effective and an easy procedure with acceptable morbidity and no recurrence.
