Abstract
Mesh fixation in laparoscopic ventral hernia benefits from a wide range of devices and materials that can be used, according to the location and characteristics of both the hernia and mesh. At our disposal are sutures (metal, traumatic, plastic, absorbable) and adhesives. The advantages of fibrin have been incorporated into traditional metal sutures (tackers), offering potential improvements in terms of integration and the decrease of possible complications (seroma, hematoma, etc.).
