Article Abstract
Over the years, incisional hernia repair has evolved. Currently, primary closure of the defect before placing the mesh is a critical step in incisional hernia repair and minimally invasive surgery incorporation has an important role due to great advantages. Despite its benefits, laparoscopic closure with suture intracorporeal knotting is physically demanding and technically complex. Robotic technology provides an optimal three-dimensional view, maneuverability of the instruments but no study has assessed the impact of the DaVinci system in the ergonomics which is the objective in this study. Fourteen surgeons were able to achieve surgical repair of a defect in an incisional hernia inanimate model. The task was performed with conventional laparoscopy and robotic assistance. The mental effort was registered and physical disturbances were measured with the Local Experienced Discomfort scale. The subjects expressed discomfort mainly in the dominant side (p = 0.006). In the comparative analysis between the two approaches, upper limb less disturbance (p = 0.04) and lower mental effort (p = 0.001) were reported with robotic approach. Robotic assistance decreases mental and physical effort during the primary closure of a defect in an incisional hernia inanimate model.

Prevention of Incisional Hernias With Prophylactic Synthetic Mesh Placement During Stoma Reversal: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Stoma reversal is associated with few complications. However, recent studies show that 1 in 3 patients develop an incisional hernia, for which half of the patients receive surgical correction.
Objective: To investigate whether prophylactic synthetic mesh placement in the retromuscular space during stoma reversal reduces the rate of stomal site incisional hernias.

Incisional hernia is a frequent postoperative complication following laparotomy, often associated with significant morbidity and recurrence. We present the case of a 47-year-old male with a history of blunt abdominal trauma and prior exploratory laparotomy, who presented with multiple anterior abdominal wall defects. Clinical examination and imaging confirmed a "Swiss cheese" configuration of incisional hernias.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is linked to various esophageal and extra-esophageal complications. While GERD is theoretically a potential risk factor for abdominal hernias, current evidence is limited. Observational studies have suggested associations between GERD and both congenital diaphragmatic hernia and hiatal hernia.

Backgrounds And Objectives: The enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal technique (eTEP) has gained popularity as a novel minimally invasive ventral hernia repair approach. However, this procedure becomes technically demanding once the view is no longer maintained, due to incidental pneumoperitoneum caused by peritoneal injury during the surgery. In an attempt to overcome this technical issue, we report laparoscopic extraperitoneal repair with upfront coring out of hernia defect (LERCO) where the intraperitoneal coring out of the hernia defect precedes the regular eTEP for the treatment of midline incisional ventral hernia.
