Overview

Repair of simple and complex abdominal hernias by the laparoscopic technique is now the method of choice in many centres. Laparoscopic repair offers equivalent outcomes to open repair, with the additional benefits of greater patient satisfaction and reduced hospitalization, For some hernias, notably incisional and hiatal, the outcome appears to be superior using the minimally invasive technique. This book, authored by an international team of leading surgeons in the field of hernia repair, offers a comprehensive guide to appropriate patient selection and operative technique. The introductory section delivers a useful account of instrumentation, biomaterials and mesh fixation. Subsequent sections provide detailed information about inguinal, incisional and hiatal hemiorraphy, including four chapters devoted to the use of laparoscopy in the paediatric patient. Robotics and the socio-economic aspects of hernia surgery are also discussed. Each surgical procedure is covered, with essential background information, relevant anatomy, preoperative evaluation of the patient, choice of instrumentation and biomaterials, and cosmetic results. The recognition and management of complications is highlighted and successful post-operative management techniques are also considered.
