Due to the severe complications associated with laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, it is performed less frequently than open repair. Also, some ventral hernias are unsuitable for laparoscopic repair. However, there has been a gradual increase in the incidence of laparoscopic hernia surgery. Several factors, such as location, size, shape, number, recurrence, and other symptoms of the hernia, influence the preferred technique for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. Though the approach carries a higher risk of bowel injury during surgery, it has a significantly lower risk of surgical site infection.
