Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair: does IPOM plus allow to increase the indications in larger defects?

ConclusionThe IPOM technique has shown a limit of effectiveness in large ventral hernia defects. The combination of techniques (ring closure and AVCS) may be useful to expand the indication for this surgery to larger defects and to reduce the recurrence rate. Prospective randomized studies are required to confirm this trend.
