Role of laparoscopy in the management of ventral hernia repair
A comparative study
Keywords:
incisional hernia, open incisional, hernia repair, laparoscopic surgeryAbstract
Objectives: The aim of our study is to compare the usefulness of laparoscopic ventral hernia repair with conventional open ventral hernia repair. Methodology: The comparative type of study was conducted on 60 patients with incisional hernia of which 30 patients were included in the Laparoscopy group while the other 30 were included in the open surgery group. Results: The peak incidence of hernia in our study was in the 31-50 years of age group. The mean operation time of Laparoscopic ventral hernia was 142.1 minutes with an SD of ± 24.69 as compared to open repair which was 100.7 minutes. Postoperative complications were less in the laparoscopic repair group in comparison with the open repair group. In the open group, the majority of patients were discharged on 5-7 days as compared to the laparoscopic group in which the majority of patients were discharged on days 3-5. Conclusion: Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is a novel technique, various benefits found in the current study include lesser postoperative pain, lesser postoperative hospital stay, decreased incidence of postoperative complications, and obviously better cosmesis.
