Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair with and without defect closure: comparative analysis of a single-institution experience with 783 patients

ConclusionsIn our experience, the addition of defect closure can reduce the incidence of surgical site events, seroma, and hernia recurrence after LVHR. We advocate for routine closure of defects when laparoscopic repair is chosen for small-to-mid-sized ventral hernias.
