Laparoscopic Repair of Abdominal Hernias Using an ePTFE Patch—A Modification of a Previously Described Technique

BACKGROUND: A variety of laparoscopic procedures for the repair of abdominal wall hernias have been described. The repair described in this paper represents a modification and improvement of one approach. METHODS: Our technique employs an Origin Tacker (Origin Medsystems, Inc, Menlo Park, CA) and a...

description BACKGROUND: A variety of laparoscopic procedures for the repair of abdominal wall hernias have been described. The repair described in this paper represents a modification and improvement of one approach. METHODS: Our technique employs an Origin Tacker (Origin Medsystems, Inc, Menlo Park, CA) and a Gore suture passer (W. L. Gore, Flagstaff, AZ) to secure an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) patch, (DualMesh, W. L. Gore, Flagstaff, AZ) to the anterior abdominal wall. RESULTS: This approach simplifies the repair by minimizing the number of steps required to secure the ePTFE graft to the anterior abdominal. CONCLUSIONS: We have found this to be a safe and reliable technique that may be used in the laparoscopic repair of ventral, umbilical, or inguinal hernias.
