Abstract
Aims: Closure of hernia defect behind the mesh is essential for good results and making the procedure easy with laparoscopic hernia repair. Until now no defined technique is present.
Methods: During the period from March 2012 through December 2014, during laparoscopic hernia repair in 27 patients, the hernia defect was closed before putting mesh by our technique. Where, the hernia defect was closed percutaneous trans abdominal by using spinal needle No. 18 or tip hole needle. The mean follow-up period was 26 months.
Results: The ages of this patients group were ranged from 25 to 62 years (mean, 47 years). The mean time needed to put one suture was 1.7 minutes and number of sutures for good closure of hernia defect ranged from 2–7 interrupted sutures. No recurrence or mesh bulging or seroma formation or mesh infection was recorded in this patients group during the period of follow-up.
Conclusion: Our technique for hernia defect closure during laparoscopic hernia repair is effective, easy and associated with good results.
