A simplified laparoscopic ventral hernia repair: the scroll technique

Abstract

The authors' scroll technique for laparoscopic repair is simple, feasible, and reproducible, with a short learning curve and a low recurrence rate.

Multicentre prospective feasibility study on the repair of hernias and incisional ventral hernias with an innovative Tintrap mesh

“…To this list, we added one patient with a Spiegelian hernia [8,9] and three patients with femoral hernia: all were satisfied with the outcome as pain was rated between 0 and 3, requiring 1 month of level 2 analgesics and no patient had any complication. Management of femoral hernia with this technique requires special attention during deployment in order not to injure the iliac vessels.…”

Étude prospective sur la faisabilité du traitement des hernies et éventrations de taille moyenne de la paroi abdominale antérieure avec une prothèse innovante TINTRAP et de son introducteur à propos de 80 cas

“…La majorité des cas est représentée par des hernies ombilicales (51 cas), nous avons 25 éventrations. On rapporte un cas de hernie de spiegel [8,9] et trois hernies fémorales. Ces quatre cas ont put être traités sans incidents, avec satisfaction de la part des patients notamment en termes de douleur cotée de niveau 0 à 3 à un mois sous antalgique de palier 2 et aucune complication.…”

Relationship between ventral hernia defect area and intra-abdominal pressure: dynamic in vivo measurement

“…Consequently, accurate measurement of defect area is prerequisite for successful sustainable repair of ventral hernia. In open surgery, the defect area may play a minor role [2], whereas in laparoscopic repair, its accurate measurement seems to be important for estimating the proper area of the mesh to be used [3][4][5].…”
