Laparoscopic Versus Open Incisional and Ventral Hernia Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis

Abstract: Laparoscopic incisional and ventral hernia repair is a feasible and effective alternative to the open technique. It is associated with lower incidences of wound infection and shorter length of hospital stay. However, caution is required because it is associated with an increased risk of bowel injury compared with the open technique. Given the relatively short follow-up duration of trials included in the systematic review, trials with long-term follow-up are needed to compare the durability of laparoscopic and … Show more

“…1,2 On the other hand, its advantages subject to good case selections and surgeons' experience. With the intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) approach, meshes with nonadhesive surface in one side were placed intra-peritoneally and subsequent fixation by trans-abdominal sutures and tackers for the completion of repair is superior to suture repair alone.…”

“…5 Intraperitoneal onlay placement of mesh is associated with poorer short-(ileus) and long-term outcomes (recurrence) and the risk of serious complications, such as bowel injury, are higher with the laparoscopic technique. 4,6 The recurrence rate after laparoscopic incisional hernia repair has been reported to be between 0 to 9%. 5 With advances in technology, various types of mesh and mesh fixation devices have become available.…”

“…3 Laparoscopic repair has the advantages of a shorter hospital stay, less incidence of wound infection, less pain and adhesion formation. 4 Common complications following laparoscopic mesh repair of incisional hernia are seroma formation, ileus, pain and wound infection. 5 Intraperitoneal onlay placement of mesh is associated with poorer short-(ileus) and long-term outcomes (recurrence) and the risk of serious complications, such as bowel injury, are higher with the laparoscopic technique.…”

“…Seromas that are persistent for prolonged periods of time or those that are symptomatic may require treatment. 9 Techniques for prevention of seromas may be employed to minimize the likelihood of developing this persistent problem but results of these techniques are mixed. There are few studies showing that cauterization of the hernia sac may decrease seroma formation.…”
