  • Title: [Laparoscopic mesh repair of incisional hernia].
    Author: Zinther NB, Wara P, Friis-Andersen H.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2007 Oct 15; 169(42):3559-62. PubMed ID: 18031665.
    Abstract:
    Ventral hernias and their surgical treatment have long been a therapeutical problem. High recurrence and complication rates have caused surgeons to refrain from performing this type of surgery, often by enforcing strict indications for surgical management. With the introduction of laparoscopic mesh repair, we now have an effective and relatively simple and safe treatment modality at our disposal. In other words, it is a completely new ballgame with a different set of rules, and in the coming years a number of pertinent questions need to be asked and answered.
