Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat a ventral hernia, in which abdominal tissue or part of an organ protrudes through a weakened area of the abdominal wall. During the procedure, the hernia contents are returned to the abdominal cavity and the weakened area is reinforced, commonly with surgical mesh. The laparoscopic approach uses several small incisions and a camera to guide the repair.
