“…The authors stressed the differences in operative time: the use of sutures appears to lengthen the operating time without any real improvement in outcome. Other studies confirmed the same findings [134,135].…”

Laparoscopic ventral/incisional hernia repair: updated guidelines from the EAES and EHS endorsed Consensus Development Conference

et al. 2015

The availability of recent level 1 evidence (a meta-analysis of 10 RCTs) allowed to recommend that not only laparoscopic repair is an acceptable alternative to the open repair, but also it is advantageous in terms of shorter hospital stay and wound infection rate. This conclusion appears to be extremely relevant in a clinical setting. Indications about specific conditions could also be issued: laparoscopy is recommended for the treatment of recurrent ventral hernias and obese patients, while it is a potential option for compensated cirrhotic and childbearing-age female patients. Many relevant and controversial topics were thoroughly examined by this consensus conference for the first time. Among them are the issue of safety of the intraperitoneal mesh placement, traditionally considered a major drawback of the laparoscopic technique, the role for the biologic meshes, and various aspects of the laparoscopic approach for particular locations of the defect such as the abdominal border or parastomal hernias.

“…Data from Refs. [39][40][41][42][43][44][45] and colleagues 28 evaluated a few patients undergoing primary repair (14), laparoscopic repair with mesh (10), and open repair with mesh (21), with recurrence rates of 43%, 30%, and 33%, respectively. These investigators also reported that previous sternal wound infection was a risk factor for recurrent hernias after repair, with 6 of 16 patients with recurrences also having a previous sternal wound infection.…”

“…The Sublay mesh should cover the entire defect and the distal limit should be at least 5 comes that it will protect the muscle and intramuscular spaces. Some authors agree that the intra abdominal pressure is enough to hold the mesh in space which obeys the principle of Pascal [12.13] As an alternative Carbonel et al [14] presented the use of bone anchoring fixation by using Onlay mesh covering the defect crossing the edge of the iliac crest. But it causes postoperative pain in some cases.…”

Since De Garengoet described first incarcerated hernia in 1731 Lumbar Hernia is relatively rare case, fewer than 300 cases reported in the literature. It occurs through the postero-superior lumbar triangle (Grynfeltt's) and less commonly in the inferior lumbar triangle (Petit's) [1] . Surgical treatment is recommended because of the risk of entrapment and strangulation [4].the incidence rate is less than 1.5% among all hernia cases [2] . patient with lumbar hernia can present with flank bulge accompanying with local discomfort and tenderness [3] . There are several treatments as per the facial defect [4] . For small defect direct approximation of muscle is sufficient. For larger defect facial flap or mesh fixation is essential {4, 5, and 6}.Nowadays laparoscopic Transabdominal extra peritonial repair of lumbar hernia is ideal [7] .

Laparoscopic transperitoneal repair of flank hernias: a retrospective review of 27 patients

Abstract: In the laparoscopic repair of flank hernias adequate retroperitoneal dissection and wide mesh overlap is imperative. Laparoscopic repair can be performed safely and effectively with good short-term outcomes.
