Abstract

Laparoscopic repair of ventral or incisional hernia is among the most commonly performed minimally invasive procedures. Different modes of recurrence have been reported in literature, including missed defects, mesh migration, mesh infection, etc. Transfascial suture fixation in addition to tackers is an established method to prevent recurrence due to mesh migration. We report possibly the third case of recurrent ventral hernia with multiple defects at transfascial suture sites of previous laparoscopic ventral hernia mesh repair. The patient was treated by laparoscopy with a large intraperitoneal PROCEED mesh, covering the new hernia defects and older mesh.
