The eTEP/eTEP-TAR Repair of Ventral Hernias a Study From One Center/ One Surgeon-The First Five Years of Experience.

The objective of this study is analyze the outcomes of retro-muscular repair techniques for ventral hernias performed by a single surgeon in a renowned hernia surgery center. This study involved 197 patients who underwent surgery between May 2016 and December 2021 under the care of a single surgeon (VR). Respecting the indication/contraindications of the eTEP procedure, 197 of 212 patients with ventral hernias underwent eTEP/eTEP-TAR surgery during this period.

Retromuscular Approach in Ventral Hernia Repair - Endoscopic Rives-Stoppa Procedure.

In 1993 Leblanc published his laparoscopic technique in ventral hernia repair. The procedure has been improved due to deeply change of the paradigm in abdominal wall reconstruction. Placing the mesh into the retrorectus space was initially a big challenge but now the Rives-Stoppa procedure by endoscopic approach extended total extra-peritoneal approach (eTEP) become a well known technique.

A novel approach using the enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) technique for laparoscopic retromuscular hernia repair.

Background: The enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) technique has been previously described for Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair. We present a novel application of the eTEP access technique for the repair of ventral and incisional hernias.

Methods: Retrospective review of consecutive laparoscopic retromuscular hernia repair cases utilizing the eTEP access approach from five hernia centers between August 2015 and October 2016 was conducted.

Transversus Abdominis Muscle Release (TAR) for Large Incisional Hernia Repair.

Unlabelled: complex ventral hernia repair is a frequent and challenging topic. Reconstructive techniques are numerous but most of them are unable to achieve the goals of hernioplasty. Posterior component separation with transverses abdominis muscle release (TAR) is a novel approach that offers a solution for complex ventral hernias.
