Comparison of two fascial defect closure methods for laparoscopic incisional hernia repair

ConclusionThese results suggest that a hybrid approach to incisional ventral hernia repair with open defect closure is comparable to a totally laparoscopic closure. The hybrid technique can help facilitate fascial closure and resection of the hernia sac in patients with higher BMI and hernia defects up to 6  cm.
