Symposium - Laparoscopic repair of ventral / incisional hernias
Chowbey Pradeep K, Sharma Anil, Mehrotra Magan, Khullar Rajesh, Soni Vandana, Baijal Manish
Abstract
Despite its significant prevalence, there is little in the way of evidence-based guidelines regarding the timing and method of repair of incisional hernias. To add to the above is the formidable rate of recurrence that has been seen with conventional tissue repairs of these hernias. With introduction of different prosthetic materials and laparoscopic technique, it was hoped that an improvement in the recurrence and complication rates would be realized. The increasing application of the laparoscopic technique across the world indicates that these goals might indeed be achieved.
