as it avoids a large abdominal incision, and thus potentially reduces pain and hospital stay …

Background Although laparoscopic repair of ventral hernia has become increasingly
popular, its outcomes relative to open repair have not been well characterized. For this …

Background An incisional hernia develops in 3% to 13% of laparotomy incisions, with
primary suture repair of ventral hernias yielding unsatisfactory results. The introduction of a …

Background: The purpose of this study was to analyse the surgical techniques, perioperative
