Several factors must be considered in deciding which mesh to use for a ventral hernia repair. Open hernia repairs with no exposure of mesh to viscera can be performed with unprotected synthetic mesh, preferably a "lightweight" option. For open repair with high risk for fascial dehiscence and ...
Transfascial sutures and tacs for fascial closure and surgical mesh fixation are associated with greater post‐operative pain. Robotic‐assisted ventral hernia repair (rVHR) may afford benefits of the laparoscopic approach while facilitating a more robust and less painful repair.ANZ Journal of Surgery...
clinical experience with PG in a 73-year-old patient after ventral hernia repair.We present our experience, based on the case of a 73-year-old woman with postoperative PG.By a systematic approach, we provide indicators to contribute to an earlier diagnosis and adequate treatment in future ...
HERNIA surgeryLAPAROSCOPYSURGICAL meshesMore than 350,000 ventral hernias are repaired annually in the United States. Currently, there is significant variation in all aspects of ventral hernia management, from preoperative patient selection to postoperative care. Herein, we detail our perioperative ...
The combination of negative pressure therapy with dynamic fascial mesh traction, in the management of the open abdomen, allows us to achieve a 100% delayed primary fascial closure, avoiding ventral hernia. In the same hospitalization, while the patient leaves the critical stage, we can achieve a...

Closure of large hernia defects with minimally invasive surgery has long-been a challenge. Barbed sutures have helped us bridge this technical gap, but their off-label use is not well studied.#We describe a suturing technique for minimally invasive ventral hernia repair (MIS-VHR) termed "...
