  • Title: Laparoscopic versus open ventral hernia repair.
    Author: Jin J, Rosen MJ.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 2008 Oct; 88(5):1083-100, viii. PubMed ID: 18790156.
    Abstract:
    Ventral hernia repair remains one of the most common operations performed by general surgeons. Despite the frequency with which this procedure is performed, there is little agreement and extensive controversy as to the cause of most of the hernias, or the ideal approach to repair these complicated problems. This article attempts to identify and provide some clarification of these controversial issues in abdominal wall reconstruction after ventral herniation based on the available literature.
