It has been reported that avoidance of recurrences after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) depends on using sutures to secure the mesh. We developed a successful sutureless LVHR. The "Double Crown" LVHR using ePTFE mesh (overlap, 23 cm) was done in 140 cases. Tacks were placed 1 cm apart at the edge of the mesh. A second crown of tacks was placed at the edge of the defect. Three conversions (2.14%) and five bowel perforations occurred intraoperatively (3.57%). Postoperative complications were prolonged ileus (two cases), hematoma (two cases), seroma requiring drainage (three cases), and reoperation in one case for mesh intolerance, three cases for bowel perforation, and one case for small bowel ischemia. The recurrence rate (mean follow-up of 40 months) was 2.14%. The Double Crown LVHR is a safe alternative to LVHR using sutures, with a similar recurrence rate, less pain, fewer incisions and infections, and a shorter operating time.

Introduction: The last decade has witnessed several modifications in the laparoscopic techniques for ventral hernia. The aim of this study was to compare an established repair such as laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair with defect closure (IPOM plus) with subcutaneous onlay endoscopic approach (SCOLA) for medium ventral hernia.
Patients And Methods: From June 2019 to November 2021, 29 patients undergoing IPOM plus and 22 patients undergoing SCOLA for medium ventral hernia (umbilical and epigastric hernia of size 2-4 cm) were included in the study.

Background: Although laparoscopic hemihepatectomy has gained prominence, one of the critical challenges in this procedure is the approach to the middle hepatic vein (MHV). The MHV, which runs in the midplane of the liver, is situated above the hilar plate and serves as an anatomical landmark in hemihepatectomy. We have introduced dorsal approach to the MHV from the hilar plate in laparoscopic hemihepatectomy under the laparoscopic caudo-dorsal view.
