Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the use of a laparoscope and specialized instruments to repair a ventral hernia. A ventral hernia occurs when a weak spot in the abdominal wall allows internal organs or tissues to protrude, creating a bulge. The laparoscopic approach involves making small incisions in the abdomen, through which the surgeon inserts the laparoscope and instruments to repair the hernia by placing a mesh over the defect and securing it in place.
