Comparative Study of Outcomes of Laparoscopic Versus Open Ventral Hernia Repair

Abstract

Background
Two primary methods for treating ventral hernias are laparoscopic and open surgery. Shorter 
hospital stays and less discomfort following surgery are two advantages of laparoscopic 
surgery. Studies have also shown that laparoscopic surgery has fewer complications than 
open surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes, complications, length of 
stay, discomfort following surgery, and return to work between laparoscopic and open ventral 
hernia repairs
