Szymanski, A. Voitk, J. Joffe, C. Alvarez, G. Rosenthal] Background: This report describes the technique and early results of a simple outpatient laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. Methods: Data were gathered prospectively for all laparoscopic ventral hernia repairs from January 1996 to December 1997 at a 228-bed hospital. Prolene mesh was stapled to the peritoneal surface of the abdominal wall, leaving sac in situ and mesh uncovered. Patients were seen by the operating surgeon within 2 months, and by an impartial surgeon (J.S.) after 3 to 14 months (average, 7 months; median, 6 months). Results: Repairs involved 44 hernias with orifice sizes 2 to 20 cm in diameter, and an average area of 20 cm2. Of these 44 hernias, 36 were postoperative and 8 primary. Furthermore, 20% were recurrent hernias. There were four conversions. The outpatient rate was 98%, with one readmission for ileus. The early recurrence rate was 5%. Conclusions: Laparoscopic mesh onlay repair is a safe, easy, and effective procedure with minimal discomfort and a low early recurrence rate that can be performed safely on an outpatient basis.
