Laparoscopic retromuscular hernia repair (LaHRR): a case-series of 17 patients treated with a novel technique for laparoscopic ventral hernia and diastasis repair.

Introduction: Many minimally invasive techniques have been developed over the years to treat primary ventral hernias and rectus abdominis diastasis, all of which have their advantages and disadvantages in terms of complications, reproducibility, and cost. We present a case-series of a novel approach that was safe and reproducible in a cohort of 17 patients.

Patients And Methods: All patients in the study underwent the novel procedure between October 2022 and July 2023.
