Emergency Laparoscopy

Abstract

The emergency laparoscopic treatment of incarcerated incisional and ventral hernias seems to be one of the most interesting and debated topics. According to the previous recommendations (EAES 2005, Italian Consensus Conference of laparoscopy in acute abdomen 2012, SICE 2013), laparoscopic treatment of incarcerated or strangulated ventral/incisional hernia can be successfully accomplished in selected patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate recent and relevant news about laparoscopic approach to incarcerated ventral and incisional hernia repair with respect to previous Consensus Development Conference on “Laparoscopic approach to acute abdomen” of 2012.
