Title: are laparoscopic and open ventral hernia repairs truly comparable?: a propensity-matched study in large ventral hernias.The objective of our research was to compare hernia recurrence rates in a matched cohort study comparing laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (lvhr) and open preperitoneal ventral hernia repair (oppvhr)s, matched for hernia defect size and follow-up time.From january 2002 to january 2019, 352 patients underwent open and laparoscopic ventral hernia repairs.During oppvhr, #1 pds was used for fascial closure.(n=?) hernia recurrence.(n=?) wound infection.(n=?) seroma.(n=?) hematoma.(n=?) postoperative pain.(n=?) reoperation rate.(n=?) seromas requiring drainage.In conclusion, laparoscopic and open preperitoneal repair for large ventral hernias have equivalent hernia recurrence rates, postoperative pain, and qol on long-term follow-up.Patients undergoing oppvhr were more likely to be recurrent, complex, require components separation, and more likely to develop postoperative wound complications.
