متن کاملCharacterizing laparoscopic incisional hernia repair.
INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic repair of ventral and incisional hernias (LVIHRs) is feasible; however, many facets of this procedure remain poorly defined. The indications, essential technical features and postoperative management should be standardized to optimize outcomes and facilitate training in this promising approach to incisional hernia repair. METHODS All patients referred to one surgeon ...
