Background: Incisional hernias repair being done in large numbers there is still not a consensus about the best repair. Very few studies have been done on comparison open and laparoscopic incisional hernia repair.Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was undertaken in Department of Surgery of Civil Hospital. The study included total 50 patients, out of which 25 patients underwent open approach and rest of 25 patients, underwent laparoscopic approach. Patients were assigned to both the groups randomly.Results: Pain, duration of post-operative stay, and return to routine work is earlier in patients with laparoscopic repair mainly due to decreased pain, fewer complications, early mobility and faster return of bowel movements. Laparoscopic repair is more expensive and operative time is more as compared to open method.Conclusions: Keeping in view the advantages and limitations of laparoscopic repair, the choice among two surgical modalities should be made on a case to case basis depending on patient preference and characteristics.

The laparoscopic incisional hernia repair is a safe alternative to open mesh repair. The procedure has the advantages of minimal access surgery and lower recurrence rate. A prospective study of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair of our first 11 patients was performed from July 2008 to December 2009. No serious intraoperative or postoperative morbidity was encountered, only two patients developed seroma. The mean operating time was 90 minutes (60 to 180 minutes). The mean day of discharge after surgery was 3 days (2-7 days). No patient developed a recurrence during mean follow up period of 10 months. Laparoscopic repair of incisional hernia has been shown to be feasible, safe and effective. However, careful patient selection and acquiring the necessary advanced laparoscopic surgical skills coupled with the proper use of equipment are mandatory before embarking on this procedure.Key Words: Incisional hernia; Laparoscopic repair; Mesh; Polypropylene DOI: 10.3329/fmcj.v5i2.6819Faridpur Med.
