Event Description

According to the literature source of study performed between 2015 and 2020, a retrospective study compared two different methods of hernia defect closure (an open hybrid approach versus a laparoscopically sutured closure) in patients who underwent laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.There were 120 patients in the laparoscopic group and 44 in the hybrid group.Group one consisted of patients who underwent purely laparoscopic defect closure.The fascia of the hernia defect was closed under reduced pneumoperitoneum using either a running barbed suture or interrupted figure-of-eight knots with prolene sutures.Group two included patients who underwent hybrid open defect closure.The abdomen was re-insufflated and a laparoscopic technique was resumed to anchor the mesh into place with a single or double crown of permanent tacks using a protack 5 mm fixation device.Both groups had laparoscopically placed intra-peritoneal mesh.Symbotex composite mesh or parietex optimized composite mesh was used for all patients.Post operative complications included: seroma, hematoma, pain, and hernia recurrence.It is not specified if interventions were required.
