Study of comparison between laparascopic and open repair for ventral hernia
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: To study the comparison between Laparascopic and open repair for ventral hernia. Design: A prospective comparative study of all patients with ventral hernia. Results: Although open repair requires less operative time as compared to laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, it (LVHR) has shown promising results and a clear advantage over open repair in regard with reduced post operative pain, decreased post operative complications, reduced length of hospital stay, and less time for return to normal activity and better cosmesis rates, with comparable recurrence rates. Hence, laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is a safe and feasible alternative to open repair, where expertise is available. The drawback in the study is that the time period for the assessment of recurrence rate is short and the cost of raw materials used for LVHR is higher as compared to open repair.
