Background: Ventral hernias are defined as a protrusion of abdominal contents through the abdominal wall muscle. It can be categorised as spontaneous or acquired or by their location on the abdominal wall like epigastric hernia, umbilical hernia, para umbilical hernia etc. This original article reveals that laparoscopic trans abdominal pre peritoneal (TAPP) mesh placement for ventral hernia usually follows the current principle of hernia surgery and give better results from open pre peritoneal ventral hernia repair.Methods: A prospective study conducted in Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College and Hospital, Pune for the period of 2017-2019 comparing laparoscopic TAPP vs. open preperitoneal ventral hernia repair. Total of 25 patients for laparoscopic TAPP repair and 25 patients for open preperitoneal repair were compared.Results: Total 50 cases were studies in which 25 for laparoscopic and 25 for open repair. Majority of patients were female than males. Incidence of para umbilical (56%) was found to be more. Intra operative, post-operative complications were found to be more in open repair than laparoscopic TAPP repair.Conclusions: Laparoscopic TAPP ventral hernia repair is safe with fewer complications. Therefore, offers successful treatment for ventral hernia repair with added benefits of laparoscopy such as better visualization and magnification of the hernia defects which are not clinically apparent and less chances of injury which is not possible by open technique. Laparoscopic TAPP ventral hernia repair gives equal results in terms of recurrence and less complications than open ventral hernia repair.

Introduction The Ethicon™ laparoscopic inguinal groin hernia training (LIGHT) course is an educational course based on three days of teaching on laparoscopic hernia surgery. The first day involves didactic lectures with tutorials. The second day involves practical cadaveric procedures in laparoscopic hernia surgery. The third day involves direct supervision by a consultant surgeon during laparoscopic hernia surgery on a real patient. We reviewed our outcomes for procedures performed on real patients on the final day of the course for early complications and outcomes. Methods A retrospective study was undertaken of patients who had laparoscopic hernia surgery as part of the LIGHT course from 2013 to 2015. A matched control cohort of patients who had elective laparoscopic hernia surgery over the study period was identified. These patients had their surgery performed by the same consultant general surgeons involved in delivering the course. All patients were followed up at 6 weeks postoperatively. Results A total of 60 patients had a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and 23 patients had a laparoscopic ventral hernia repair during the course. The mean operative time for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair was 48 minutes for trainees (range 22–90 minutes) and 35 minutes for consultant surgeons (range 18–80 minutes). There were no intraoperative injuries or returns to theatre in either group. All the patients operated on during the course were successfully performed as daycase procedures. The mean operative time for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair was 64 minutes for trainees (range 40–120 minutes) and 51 minutes for consultant surgeons (range 30–130 minutes). Conclusions The outcomes of patients operated on during the LIGHT course are comparable to procedures performed by a consultant. Supervised operating by trainees is a safe and effective educational model in hernia surgery.

Introduction: The laparoscopic approach to repairing ventral and incisional hernias has gained increasing popularity worldwide. The approximation of the hernia defect during laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, prior to mesh fixation, provides a more physiologic and anatomic repair. Defect closure also provides more defect overlap with mesh placement and, possibly decreases recurrence rates. We reviewed the experience of laparoscopic repair of large ventral hernia (diameter ≥5cm) at a university hospital in the Nepal with particular reference to patients with massive defects (diameter ≥15cm) and transfascial closure.Methods: A total of 32 patients underwent laparoscopic ventral (incisional or umbilical/paraumbilical) hernia repair between July 2014 and September 2015.Results: The prevalence of conversion to open surgery was 3.1%. The prevalence of postoperative complications was 15.6%. Median postoperative follow-up was 8.2 months. A total of 9.4% cases suffered late complications and 3.1% developed recurrence. Twelve patients underwent repair of defects ≥10cm in diameter with no recurrence. Three patients underwent repair of ‘massive’ incisional hernia (diameter ≥15cm) with a prevalence of recurrence of 3.1%. Ten patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥30kg/m2 (range, 32–35kg/m2) underwent laparoscopic repair without any recurrence.Conclusions: Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair with transfascial suturing can be carried out safely with a low prevalence of recurrence. It may have advantages in obese patients in whom open repair would represent a significant undertaking. Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair may be used in cases of large and massive hernias, in which the risk of recurrence increases but is comparable with open repair and associated with low morbidity.

Abstract Aim the worldwide increase in morbidly obese patients with complex hernia raises controversies in the choice of the appropriate treatment timing: synchronous bariatric and abdominal wall surgery versus delayed abdominal wall surgery. We report an innovative tailored surgical treatment carried out at our Institution. Material and Methods the approach provided the injection, six weeks before surgery, of 500 international units of botulinum toxin A on either side of the large abdominal wall muscles. Four weeks before surgery pneumoperitoneum was inducted and out-patient daily sessions of progressive insufflation with ambient air were then carried out. Surgery was scheduled 48 days after botulinum injection. Sleeve gastrectomy and simultaneous posterior component separation with transversus abdominis release were performed. Two prosthetic meshes were placed sublay. Results Postoperative superficial surgical site infection was successfully treated with negative pressure wound therapy. At one year follow up no hernia recurrence was recorded while total body weight loss was 31%. Conclusions a delay in ventral hernia repair could worsen quality of life of morbidly obese patients. In such high risk patients, the choice of the best surgical strategy remains controversial. There is great concern in performing bariatric surgery simultaneously to hernia repair, although there is lack of evidence on which is the ideal treatment modality. Synchronous bariatric surgery and complex ventral hernia repair should be approached in high volume centres where a consolidated experience of multidisciplinary team-work is available. Combined botulinum toxin A and preoperative progressive pneumoperitoneum administration allow for a safe resolution of loss of domain.
