5.1 Medial or Midline Zone

The borders of the medial or midline area are defined as:
(1) cranial: the xyphoid (2) caudal: the pubic bone (3) lateral: the lateral margin of the rectal sheath.
All incisions made between the lateral margin of the rectus sheath are midline her­nias. Midlines hernias are further subdivided into subgroup (5 M zones) as it is believed that hernias close to bony structures have high risk of recurrence and pose specific therapeutic approach (Fig. 3).
M1: subxiphoidal (from the xiphoid till 3 cm caudally). M2: epigastric (from 3 cm below the xiphoid till 3 cm above the umbilicus). M3: umbilical (from 3 cm above till 3 cm below the umbilicus). M4: infraumbilical (from 3 cm below the umbilicus till 3 cm above the pubis). M5: suprapubic (from pubic bone till 3 cm cranially).

5.2 Lateral Hernias (Flank Hernias)

Any incisions lateral to the lateral margin of the rectus sheath are lateral hernias (Fig. 4).
Fig. 3 Classification of midline incisional hernias between the two lateral margins of the rectus muscle sheaths, which is divided into five zones
Sleeve and Ventral Hernias
Fig. 4 Classification of lateral incisional hernias, four zones (L1–L4) lateral of the rectus muscle sheaths
The borders of the lateral hernia are defined as:
(1) cranial: the costal margin (2) caudal: the inguinal region. (3) medially: the lateral margin of the rectal sheath (4) laterally: the lumbar region.
277
So, the four lateral hernia zones on each side are:
L1: Subcostal (between the costal margin and a horizontal line 3 cm above the
umbilicus)
L2: Flank (lateral to the rectal sheath in the area 3 cm above and below the
umbilicus)
L3: Iliac (between a horizontal line 3 cm below the umbilicus and the inguinal
region)
L4: Lumbar (latero-dorsal of the anterior axillary line).

6 Size of the Hernia

Grid format used to describe the size of incisional hernias measure the width and length. Width of the hernia is defined as the greatest horizontal distance in cm between the lateral margins of the hernia defect on both sides. In case of multiple incisional hernia, the width is measured between the two most lateral located her­nias with the most lateral edges. The length of incisional hernias is measured by
M. Almuhanna and W.-J. Lee278
the greatest distance in cm vertically between the most cranial and most caudal margins (Fig. 5). In case of multiple hernia caused by a single incision, the length measured between the cranial margin of the most cranial defect and distal margin of the most distal defect (Fig. 6).
To avoid the confusion of incisional hernia size with the size of primary her­nia (small, medium and large), code taxonomy was chosen as: W1 < 4 cm, W2 ≥ 4–10 cm, W3 ≥ 10 cm.

7 Indication and Risks of Ventral Hernia Repair

Indication for ventral hernia repair is for the relief of symptoms (pain, acute incarceration, enlargement and skin problem). In case of large ventral hernias, pre-operative optimization of the pulmonary function is very important in order to reduce the risk of pulmonary complications [16]. Smoking is known to increase the risk of surgical site infection and recurrence after hernia repair [12, 17]. It is recommended to stop smoking 4 weeks prior to surgery to decrease the incidence of pulmonary complications and reduce the incidence of leak in Gastrointestinal surgery [18, 19]. Poorly controlled diabetes is a risk factor for post-operative com­plications in ventral hernia repair [11]. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is used as a test for checking the patients’ diabetic control.
The key for successful outcomes in ventral hernia repair is to reduce the risk factors of ventral hernia with weight reduction, control of diabetes and cessation of smoking with optimizing the nutritional parameters.

Laparoscopic or laparoscopic assisted ventral hernia repair is favorable over open hernia repair in obese patients. Advantages of laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) include fewer surgical site infection, less pain postoperatively, 5 days faster return to work compared to open ventral hernia repair (OVHR), but no significant difference has been made in recurrence rate between LVHR and OVHR [2022]. Prophylactic antibiotics as a single dose of first-generation Cephalosporin (cefazoline) is recommended to be given pre-operatively, in case of allergy to Cephalosporin, Clindamycin or Vancomycin can be given. There is no strong recommendation on bowel preparation or urinary catheterization unless surgery will take a long time [20]. Deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis is recom­mended for obese patients as it lowers incidence of pulmonary embolism [23, 24].
Although LVHR is recommended for VH repair in obese patients, there are some contraindications of LVHR, including defect size greater than 15 cm, high risk patients, loss of domain (hernia sac contains more 30% of abdominal content and solid organ), active enterocutaneous fistula, need to remove prosthetic mesh and small defect but large hernia sac [20, 21, 23]. Patients with small defects but large hernia sacs maintained for a long period (such as in Fig. 2) may have respira­tory distress after repairing the ventral hernia and reducing the sac content into the abdomen.

8 Technique of Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair
in Obese Patient [20, 21, 23]

8.1 Position of Trocar and Creation of Pneumoperitoneum

Veress needle or open Hasson’s technique can be used for creation of pneumop­eritoneum. It is recommended that Veress needle or first port should be inserted at Palmer’s point away as much as possible from expected adhesion. First trocar size should be 10 mm to accommodate the camera and mesh insertion, while other trocars should be inserted under vision. In dealing with midline incision trocars inserted on the left side of the patient, ideally 3 or more trocars in line with opti­mal distance from the defect 16–18 cm to expose the whole hernia sac and allow accessibility for adhesiolysis and proper fixation of the mesh. Site and size of trocars can be chosen based on the surgeons preference and expertise. In obese patients, it is preferable to use long bariatric length instruments.

9 Principles of Adhesiolysis

Limited adhesiolysis is recommended. It should be limited to freeing the adhesion near the abdominal wall, away from the adherent bowel. Adhesiolysis can be per­formed using sharp and blunt dissection, limiting the use of energy devices for hemostasis. Bowel should be inspected at the end of adhesiolysis. In case of iatro­genic bowel injury without significant enteric fluid leakage, it can be repaired fol­lowed by hernia repair and mesh fixation.
For safe adhsiolysis, many maneuvers can be used:
Traction/counter traction technique
Angled/flexible camera
Moving scope among ports
Outside pressure over the abdominal wall to reduce the hernia sac
Careful sharp dissection under vision and close to abdominal wall
Limit the use of energy devices
Reposition patient table and ports if needed
Maintain the camera clean
Repeat inspection of bowel at the end of adhesiolysis.

10 Measurement of Hernia Defect

Size of hernia is a significant risk of recurrence. It is important to measure the size of the hernia defect accurately. Accurate measurement helps to choose the prober size for the mesh. Dynamic rather than static measurement for ventral
Sleeve and Ventral Hernias
hernia defect is recommended. To determine the size of the defect it should be measured vertically and transversely. The most accurate method of measurement of ventral hernia defects is intracorporeal rather than extracorporeal due to the thickness of the abdominal wall, which can cause an overestimation of the defect size. Intracorporeal method can be accomplished using two spinal needle placed through the abdominal wall. Using a sterile ruler, intracorporeal measurement is done using the largest diameter of the defect transversally and vertically. This method reduces the overestimation of the hernia defect which may result in large sized mesh that will be more difficult to handle, allowing the bowel to incarcerate and bulge into the defect.
281
11 Closure of Hernia Defect and Intraperitoneal Onlay
Mesh (IPOM) Fixation
Suturing the defect in-order to reduce the hernia size to the smallest size possible thus may reduce the bulging and risk of seroma formation, which may decrease the risk of infection. The suture material should be nonabsorbable. It is recom­mended to reconstruct the linea alba or any defect combined to IPOM, this aug­mentation repair is termed IPOM-PLUS. Mesh size should be used to cover the defect with an overlap at the edge of the defect by at least 3–4 cm in all directions. Large mesh size (e.g. 30 cm × 30 cm) can be inserted through 10 or 12 mm ports by rolling up tightly. For very large size mesh (e.g. 35 cm × 30 cm), a 15 mm port should be used. It is important to avoid mesh-skin contact. Mesh fixation can be done by suturing or tacker device with no difference in recurrence rate.

12 Technique of Open Ventral Hernia Repair [10, 25, 26]

Although LVHR for obese patients with ventral hernia is better than open approach, some scenarios need to be approached using the open technique. These include emergency surgery for hernias with complications, loss of domain, very large defects that need component separation and the need for resection pannicu­lus. It is advised that all ventral hernia should be repaired using mesh. There are four types of mesh placement in open technique, ranked by the best approach with least recurrence and surgical site infection rates as follow (Fig. 7):
Retrorecuts also named sublay, retromuscular repair or Rives-Stoppa (preperi-
toneal mesh placement)
Open intra-peritoneal onlay mesh (underlay)
Onlay (place the mesh on anterior fascia)
Inlay (place the mesh on hernia defect).

13 Concurrent LSG with LVHR

LSG and LVHR can be done during the same procedure in selected patients. Most cases done in patients with a BMI less than 50 kg/m than 10 cm (Fig. 1). Raziel A et al. reported a series of 54 cases of concomi- tant bariatric and ventral/incisional hernia surgeries in morbidly obese patients with a mean BMI of 44 kg/m2 and a mean age of 50 years, with the majority of cases being LSG (48 cases). They did not encounter mesh infection or major complications directly related to LVHR within a 5 year follow up [27]. Moolla et al. reported on a matched analysis from Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database in the USA of 430,225 cases in which 1.1% (4690) of them had concurrent LVHR. He was able to find that LVHR is safer with LSG (2718 cases) than with LRYGB (1930 cases) in terms of readmission, reoperation and major complications with 30 days [28]. Marzouk et al. in their study of LVHR combined with LSG in 15

obese patients with a mean BMI 45.2 kg/m
and ventral hernia less than 10 cm, found that LSG combined with LVHR is safe and feasible in carefully selected patients [29]. In Praveen Raj P et al.’s retrospective study on 156 cases of bariat­ric surgery concomitant with LVHR, 120 of them had LSG with an average BMI

14 LSG with Sequential LVHR

Eid GM et al. gave a suggested algorithm on how to treat morbidly obese patients presenting with ventral hernia [31]. The study classified patients on favorable and unfavorable anatomical hernias. Favorable anatomical hernias are defined as hernias located in the center, with a size less than 8 cm, BMI less than 50 kg/m2, body wall thickness less than 4 cm with gynecoid body habit and a reducible her­nia. Unfavorable anatomical hernias on the other hand are defined as hernias that are lateral, size larger than 8 cm, BMI more than 50 kg/m2, body wall thickness more than 4 cm with android body habit and unreducible hernia. They found that all symptomatic hernias should have hernia repair first prior to bariatric surgery. Asymptomatic patients with favorable anatomy can have concomitant LVHR and bariatric surgery, while patients with unfavorable anatomy should have bariat­ric surgery followed by LVHR [31]. In Fig. 2, the patient underwent concurrent LSG and open VHR. However, the patients died 2 months later due to respiratory failure. Finally, obese patients with asymptomatic VH and unfavorable anatomy should have LSG first, followed by VHR.

15 Conclusion

There is a strong association between obesity and ventral hernia. The most com­mon type of ventral hernia is incisional hernia followed by umbilical hernia. Obesity does not only increase the risk of developing ventral hernia, but also
