This video demonstrates intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair of inguinal hernia. The optimal operative management of primary ventral hernia and incisional hernia is still debatable. No single treatment has been able to tackle all ventral and incisional hernias. LeBlanc and Booth in 1993 first reported application of intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) for ventral and incisional hernia. It is a relatively straightforward procedure, which in comparison to open mesh repair has been found to reduce chances of surgical site and mesh infection.
