Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair: does IPOM plus allow to increase the indications in larger defects?

Purpose The laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) may have a limit of effectiveness, especially in defects greater than 80 cm 2 , with a higher recurrence rate which contraindicates this technique. The purpose of this study is to analyze the indication of LVHR determining and comparing the recur...

Description
Summary:Purpose The laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) may have a limit of effectiveness, especially in defects greater than 80 cm 2 , with a higher recurrence rate which contraindicates this technique. The purpose of this study is to analyze the indication of LVHR determining and comparing the recurrence rate according to defect size in two series. Methods We analyzed all patients who underwent LVHR between 2007 and 2017. Patients were divided according to the ring size:
