Abstract

 Introduction: Laprascopic ventral hernia (LVHR) is has became a popular technique amongst minimal access surgeon with good results and fast post operative recovery. We are presenting our experience of 200 patients who underwent LVHR.

Method: A prospective study of 200 patients who underwent LVHR (Incisional/Umbilical/Paraumbilical Hernia) between October 2013 to October 2016. Records were analyzed in relation to hernia characteristics, operative time, complication

Result: 200 patients underwent LVHR. 56% were females, 44% were males, Mean age was 54 years. Incisional hernia accounts 48.5% followed by umbilical and paraumbilical hernia which constitute 43.5% of total patient. Mean operative time was 46 minutes and mean hospital stay was 1.6 days. Recurrence rate was 1%. There was no major post operative complication

Conclusion: LVHR is safe and feasible procedure with acceptable rate of complication. In comparison with open ventral hernia repair, it has low complication rate, less hospital stay, and low recurrence.

Keywords: Laparascopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR), Incisional hernia, Ventral hernia.
