Abstract
Previously documented methods of concomitant abdominoplasty and hernia repair use an open technique to repair the hernia. A laparoscopic approach is faster, but it poses a significant risk to the vascular supply to the umbilicus. This not only increases positive aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction but also reduces rates of postoperative complications and recovery time.
