In this video, Dr. Morales Conde highlights different techniques for mesh fixation in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. Factors influencing pain, recurrence and adhesions are also demonstrated. Different techniques and materials to decrease pain and adhesions are outlined. The ideal laparoscopic ventral hernia repair can be achieved by decreasing mechanical fixation and increasing biological fixation to reduce pain and adhesions while preventing recurrence.

Lichtenstein hernioplasty
This video demonstrates the steps and technique in performing a Lichtenstein's tension-free open repair.The patient had a small indirect hernia sac, which was mobilized and reduced, and the mesh was secured over the posterior inguinal canal to control the hernia defect.

TAPP approach for recurrent inguinal hernia after a plug hernioplasty
This video demonstrates a laparoscopic TAPP repair in a patient with a recurrence after a previous plug repair. The surgeon mobilizes the hernia sac and identifies the key structures using a TAPP approach. The procedure is similar to standard TAPP technique. No attempt is made to remove the plug and a prolene mesh is used to cover the hernial region and is anchored to the lacunar ligament, pubic tubercle and the under surface of the abdominal wall. The peritoneum is then covered over it.

Guidelines are increasingly impacting the decision-making process in daily clinical work. Guidelines can be valuable in helping particularly the young surgeon in his/her daily work to find the best decision for the patient when confronted with a wide and confusing range of options. In this key lecture, Dr. Bonjer presents the recent guidelines for the laparoscopic treatment of ventral and incisional hernia repair.

Laparoscopic TEP repair of bilateral inguinal hernia without mesh fixation
Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair has been accepted as a popular procedure for inguinal hernia repair, but surgeons still encounter technical difficulties owing to unfamiliar pelvic anatomy and limited working space. This video demonstrates the technique in a young patient with bilateral direct inguinal hernia.
