Primary non-complicated midline ventral hernia: is laparoscopic IPOM still a reasonable approach?
2019
Purpose
Ventral hernia repair has become a common procedure, but the way in which it is performed still depends on surgeon’s skill, experience, and habit. The initial open approach is faced with extensive dissection and a high risk of infection and prolonged hospital stay. To tackle these problems, minimally invasive procedures are gaining interest. Several new techniques are emerging, but laparoscopic intra-peritoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) is still the mainstay for many surgeons. We will discuss why laparoscopic IPOM is still a valuable approach in the treatment of primary non-complicated midline hernias and review the current literature.
