title: [Laparoscopic repair of ventral abdominal wall hernias].
abstract: The surgical treatment of incisional hernias is still an unsolved problem despite of a considerable number of conventional methods. Nearly all methods induce some tension on the fascial skeleton resulting in a high recurrence rate. The damaged fascial skeleton can be bridged and reinforced by laparoscopic technique. The implantation of alloplastic well-tolerated meshes fulfills the principles of hernia surgery: fascial stabilisation and integrity of the muscle wall.
