Background: To evaluate laparoscopic ventral hernia repair using mesh insertion. Materials & Methods: A study was conducted for 30 successive patients afflicted with ventral hernias who had undergone a laparoscopic procedure. The data obtained was subjected to analysis employing the SPSS software to derive meaningful insights and conclusions. Results: Out of the patients, 4 individuals (13%) necessitated the placement of two distinct meshes to effectively cover the hernia region. Among these cases, one patient had an unusual requirement: two meshes measuring 20 x 30 cm each were stitched together, forming a composite mesh measuring 30 x 40 cm to adequately address their hernia defect. Mean operative time was 123.2 minutes while 6.67 percent of the cases were converted to open repair. Complications were seen in 6.67 percent of the patients while mean length of hospital stay was 1.4 days. Conclusion: The utilization of the Proceed mesh for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair in human patients has been demonstrated to be viable, showcasing a minimal occurrence of complications. |
