title: [Laparoscopic treatment of abdominal incisional hernias].
abstract: Current management of incisional hernias is based on the tension free parietoplasty with prosthesis. This option is considered as the gold standard leading to a recurrence rate lower than 10%. Laparoscopic approach involves the placement of a composite intraperitoneal prosthesis obstructing the wall defect without anatomic reconstruction or peritoneal excision. This article describes the standard technique of the laparoscopic insertion of a prosthesis.
