Core Tip
Core Tip: This retrospective study reviewed patients with giant ventral hernias who received operations from 2006 to 2013. The outcomes and complications of three commonly used techniques for giant ventral hernia repair were compared. A hybrid approach combining laparoscopic and open procedures is an effective method for giant ventral hernia repair. It is associated with low complication rates and hernia recurrence. Hybrid repair combines the advantages of laparoscopic and open repair and minimizes the disadvantages of the two approaches.
