4.2.4 Mesh Placement andClosure
Mesh placement continues in the standard fashion as above, positioned over the myopectineal orice (Table1) and covering direct, indirect, femoral and obturator spaces widely. Ports are removed as the space is de-sufated. The anterior fascia is then closed with a 2-0 PDS and all skin incisions are closed with 4-0 Monocryl and skin glue.

1 Denitions
We dene the preperitoneal space as the anatomic space between the parietal peri­toneum and the fascia. Underlay mesh placement for ventral hernia repair occurs in either the preperitoneal space or the intraperitoneal space deep to the fascia and peritoneum (Fig.1). Intraperitoneal mesh placement is historically referred to as intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) [1]. Recently, some surgeons favor the term intraperitoneal underlay mesh (IPUM), which we will use to more accurately reect the mesh position.
A primary ventral hernia occurs at a location not associated with a previous sur­gical incision. These include, for example, umbilical and epigastric hernias. Incisional hernias occur at the site of a prior fascial incision. Off-midline ventral hernias, like Spigelian or ank hernias, will be covered in a separate chapter.

2 Surgical Technique
VHR may involve primary suture repair of the hernia, the use of a bridging mesh without defect closure, or repair of the hernia defect using prosthetic mesh.
Primary repair of ventral hernias without the use of mesh has fallen out of favor, apart from small, <1cm primary umbilical or epigastric hernias. Primary sutured repair can be considered for small hernia defects, and in such a setting, a non­absorbable or slowly resorbable suture should be used [2]. The placement of mesh by either a minimally invasive or open technique decreases hernia recurrence com­pared to primary suture repair [3]. Given this decreased recurrence, surgeons rou­tinely use mesh reinforcement with most hernia repairs [4, 5].
There are many described techniques for VHR which utilize the preperitoneal space and underlay positions. Below we describe open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgical modalities.

2.1 Open
In open primary suture repair, the surgeon makes an incision over the hernia and exposes the hernia sac and surrounding fascia. For an umbilical hernia, a curvilinear incision is made either infraumbilical or supraumbilical, ideally in a position that allows for dissection of the hernia sac away from the stalk without need to dissect and transect the base of the stalk from the fascia to expose the hernia sac. For other midline hernias, the incision is often oriented transversely to allow for elongation of the inci­sion as needed. Soft tissue attachments are then divided. The anterior fascia is cleared of soft tissue circumferentially around the hernia defect. The hernia sac is generally maintained and reduced, taking down attachments to the fascia with cautery or scis­sors. Some surgeons favor excision of the sac. Opening the hernia sac may be neces­sary to inspect bowel in the setting of incarceration or strangulation, or to divide incarcerated preperitoneal or omental fat. Once opened, the hernia sac should be closed if possible. Protruding omental or pre-peritoneal fat can be reduced or ligated. The preperitoneal space is developed bluntly and with limited cautery to small vessels to allow for safe passage of suture, and the fascia is closed with non- adsorbable or slowly resorbable sutures. These authors favor interrupted gure-of- eight sutures (Fig.2).
Mesh reinforcement in the open setting follows the same basic steps but the sur­geon places prosthetic mesh into the preperitoneal space once dissected. The mesh is attened into the space to avoid kinking, which can lead to recurrence. Suture is passed through the fascia and back, in a mattress fashion, incorporating a small bite of the mesh. Alternatively, interrupted sutures can be placed in close proximity, often aided by “parachuting” the mesh into place. Types of mesh will be discussed later. In short, if the peritoneum is not intact, then a coated mesh should be used. If the peritoneum is intact, then the surgeon can deploy the mesh with which they feel most comfortable. In addition to at mesh, there are several commercially available mesh products designed for this space that have functions to assist with at deploy­ment and securement. Once the mesh sits at in the preperitoneal space, the overly­ing fascia is closed. Some surgeons prefer to xate the tails of certain types of mesh to the fascial defect, allowing for less tension on the repair. Others incorporate the tails into the fascial closure [6]. Intraperitoneal mesh can also be placed, for instance, if the peritoneum is obliterated by prior incision. Lysis of adhesions should precede intraperitoneal mesh placement so that the mesh sits at.
2.2 Laparoscopic
Karl Leblanc described the rst laparoscopic ventral hernia repair in 1992 and numerous techniques have since evolved [1]. These include hybrid approaches, IPUM, IPUM with defect closure (“IPUM plus”), the “shoelace” technique, and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP). Placement of mesh is integral to a sound laparoscopic repair.

The hybrid approach involves the standard open approach as described above, with placement of laparoscopic trocars to allow for tacking of the mesh to the peri­toneum [7]. Both absorbable and permanent laparoscopic tacks exist. Based on data from a systemic review and meta-analysis, there is no difference between the two in

terms of recurrence, chronic pain, seroma, hematoma, ileus, or hospital length of stay [8]. This technique allows for excellent defect approximation and a wide mesh overlap that may be difcult to obtain from an open technique alone.
A standard intraperitoneal underlay mesh laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) occurs with the patient in the supine position, with arms tucked. Abdominal access is gained using the surgeon’s preferred method, commonly at Palmer’s point or away from prior incisions. Additional trocars are placed, generally through the lateral abdominal wall, to allow triangulation of the hernia defect. Trocars are placed on one or both sides of the abdomen (Fig.3). Placement on both sides of the abdo­men allows for more facile tacking or suturing of the mesh at the expense of addi­tional port sites. For larger hernias needing larger mesh pieces, having one 12mm port allows for easier mesh introduction. All anterior abdominal wall adhesions to the hernia should be taken down prior to hernia repair to allow for at mesh deploy­ment directly on the fascia. Sharp dissection is preferred to reduce the risk of ther­mal injury to the bowel. Measurement of the hernia defect can be performed with a ruler placed into the peritoneum, by use of an umbilical tape, or by passing a spinal needle trans-abdominally. Ideally, mesh size will allow for overlap of the hernia defect by 5 cm in all directions. Insertion of mesh usually requires a 12 mm or 15mm trocar. If a lateral trocar is up-sized for this purpose, the risk for incisional hernia increases and the defect should be closed at end of case. Alternatively, place­ment of the larger trocar closer to the hernia defect is an option which will allow for mesh to cover the trocar site as well. Various rolling techniques are employed by the surgeon to insert the mesh into the abdomen and to maintain orientation of the mesh

once unrolled, while avoiding shearing off any anti-adhesion coating. Previously placed sutures at the cardinal directions of the mesh allow for transabdominal pas­sage of the sutures through stab incisions using a suture-passing device. Insufation pressure can be lowered as the sutures are tied down to ensure the mesh is pulled taught along the peritoneum. Alternatively, commercially available mesh position­ing systems are available. Circumferential tacks are placed near the edge of the mesh. More tacks, or additional transabdominal sutures, can be placed along the interior of the mesh to ensure it does not migrate (Fig.4). Some authors advocate for the “double crown” method of placing tacks as opposed to using tacks and trans­facial suture, noting similar recurrence rates at 2years [9].
Eventration of the mesh is a concern in LVHR in the setting of bridging IPUM without hernia defect closure [10, 11]. The incidence of mesh bulging eventration after bridging IPUM is higher than after IPUM with defect closure [12]. The mecha­nism leading to mesh eventration is the Law of Laplace, where there is increased wall tension across the thinner, nonfunctioning portion of the abdominal wall con­taining the hernia sac. This leads to the patient seeing a bulge and ultimately a poor functional outcome as well. In addition to preventing eventration, some authors advocate for routine closure of the hernia defect prior to mesh placement due to the decreased risk of surgical site events, seroma and recurrence [13]. Longer-term data is necessary to conrm the ndings of decrease recurrence, but we have observed trends towards routine closure for larger defects.

There are several methods to close the defect in LVHR.Running suture can be used to close the hernia defect with laparoscopic suturing. The use of barbed sutures facilitates reliable closure [14]. The Endostitch device (Covidien, Dublin, Ireland) provides an alternative method of sutured fascial closure that some surgeons prefer. The so-called “shoelace” closure technique allows for multiple transfascial sutures to be placed during LVHR, both to close the hernia defect and for additional buttress sutures [15]. The edges of the defect are marked on the patient’s skin using a spinal needle. Starting at each end of the defect, suture is passed through a stab incision in the middle of the hernia bulge and into the fascia. The surgeon grasps the suture with a laparoscopic instrument, and the suture passer is brought through the fascia on the contralateral side of the defect. The suture is grasped and pulled all the way out through the stab incision. The suture is brought back through the same stab inci­sion and through both sides of fascia again before pulling out through the incision to complete a gure-of-eight suture. Additional gure-of-eight permanent suture are passed through the fascia, at intervals of the surgeons choosing, until the hernia is closed. Sutures are tied down at the end, ideally with reduced pneumoperitoneum, under direct laparoscopic vision to avoid inadvertent injury to the underlying bowel or omentum. Mesh placement follows the fascial closure, as described above, with tacks or transfascial sutures. Buttressing U-stitches can be placed through the mesh, adjacent to the fascial closure to ofoad tension if desired [16].
Transabdominal preperitoneal ventral hernia repair is feasible in the hands of a highly skilled laparoscopic surgeon. This involves creation of a preperitoneal ap and primary closure of the hernia defect. The adoption of this repair has been grow­ing with the adaptation of robotic assisted surgery and we describe the tech­nique below.
There are times when a LVHR will not be ideal. The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) recommends against laparo­scopic repair in the setting of loss of domain, presence of abdominal skin grafts, active entero-cutaneous stulas, or need to remove previously placed prosthetic mesh [17].

2.3 Robotic
The robotic platform can be utilized to perform an IPUM repair similar to that of LVHR.Port placement is typically on one side of the abdomen for centrally located defects (Fig.5).
As with a laparoscopic repair, one of the trocars can be upsized to 12mm or an assistant 12mm port can be placed to allow for easy mesh placement, but this isn’t always necessary with smaller or light weight mesh. Most surgeons choose to close the defect given it is a relatively easy task with the robotic assistance. This is accom­plished with a running barbed suture. The mesh is then deployed such that the defect has an overlap of 5 cm in all directions. The mesh needs to be held up to the

abdominal wall while suturing occurs. This can be accomplished with needles to temporarily tack the mesh up, transfacial sutures, or a commercially available posi­tioning device. Some surgeons prefer transfascial sutures, either in the center of the mesh near the hernia defect, or near the edges at the cardinal directions, to distribute the tension evenly. A running suture is then used to circumferentially secure the mesh to the anterior abdominal wall (Fig.6).

For surgeons that prefer to avoid intra-abdominal mesh placement and instead utilize the pre-peritoneal space, the robotic platform can facilitate this. Here we describe the standard transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) robotic ventral hernia repair (rVHR).
Positioning is important to enable all arms to have sufcient room to work, while also allowing for adequate intraabdominal space to operate. After induction of gen­eral anesthesia, the patient is placed with the top of the hip at the break in the bed with arms tucked. Flexing the bed increases the distance between the costal margin and iliac crest so that three robotic trocars can be placed along the lateral abdomen. Tucking the arm in a way that it can hang slightly lower than the bed, while still supported and padded, sometimes helps to prevent the robot from colliding with the patient’s arms while working on the anterior abdominal wall. When planning a robotic VHR approach, the trocars should be placed as far lateral as possible, taking into consideration that a peritoneal ap will be 5cm from the hernia defect, and the trocars should be 6–8 cm apart. Consider obtaining pneumoperitoneum prior to trocar placement as the insufation pressure provides more space for trocar place­ment. A bariatric length trocar can be considered when near the iliac crest as the extra length facilitates better range of motion up to the anterior abdominal wall while avoiding collisions. Lateral trocar positioning is reasonable for most midline ventral hernias. However, developing the peritoneal ap laterally may prove chal­lenging in cases of thin peritoneum as you move further from midline. For this reason, some surgeons prefer epigastric port placement, particularly for umbilical or lower midline hernias (Fig.7). The preperitoneal space over the falciform ligament
