Abstract
Laparoscopic repair of ventral incisional hernia is technically feasible and reliable for large hernia defects, even in obese patients. This approach should be reserved for patients with no history of previous hernia repair in order to avoid the risk of intestinal injury. It appears to allow for a shortened duration of hospitalization.
