Abstract

Background: Since the laparoscopic treatment of incisional hernia developed in the beginning of the 1990s, several studies and meta-analyses were performed to compare to the outcome of open repair. Despite the results seem to favor the laparoscopic approach, most of the meta-analysis failed to differ between ventral, incisional, and umbilical hernia.

Methods: Up to now, only two published meta-analyses focused selectively on the comparison of incisional hernias in open and laparoscopic repair. Additional to the results of these meta-analyses, the data of Herniamed registry were included in this chapter to merge the analysis of clinical studies and the daily practice for representing the genuine rate of complication rates in open and laparoscopic incisional hernia repair.

Results: In the meta-analysis except the significant less wound infection rate in the laparoscopic group, no differences concerning intra- and postoperative complications, as well as recurrence rates, were seen. In addition to the meta-analysis, the data of Herniamed registry confirmed these results.

Conclusion: Thus there seem no major differences in complications and outcome comparing open and laparoscopic repair in incisional hernias; the selective tailoring in each case is the crucial part of decision before surgery. Beyond that new upcoming techniques combine the advantages of laparo−/endoscopic approach with retromuscular mesh position of the classical open sublay repair and the minimally invasive approach leading to promising results in patients’ outcome.
