Sir, We had patient with ventral hernia in our college hospital. We did a Lap ventral hernia repair. Since the mesh ( Dual mesh ) which we purchased was small we closed the defect in laparoscopy and the placed the Onlay mesh. The patient went home without any complication and is on follow up. My questions is: 1 ) Is it advisable to close or approximate the defect so that we can place a smaller mesh ... 2 ) If we just place the mesh without closing the defect wont the defect be still palpable from the abdomen. |

Dear Dr Ansari For small ventral hernia the primary repair of defect is advisable but more than 2 cm hernia, always tension free repair with adequate size of mesh is better. Mesh size should be ideally 8-12 + Size of defect. Once fibrosis will develop defect will not be palpable from outside and excess skin will retract. In case of bad scarred skin of incisional hernia excess of the skin should be removed after 3 month. With regard R K Mishra |
