Laparoscopic transvaginal ventral hernia repair: a case and review of the literature
Abstract A 52-year-old female underwent laparoscopic repair for recurrent epigastric hernia by hybrid natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery. Three 5-mm abdominal trocars and a 15-mm transvaginal trocar were used. The defect was closed by intracorporeal suturing before mesh fixation. She was discharged uneventfully on the 2nd post-operative day. Intracorporeal closing the defect may reduce the bulging of the mesh in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. This case is the first hybrid transvaginal ventral hernia repair using defect closure technique.
