Ventral Hernia Laparoscopic Repair
Educational only: videos on MedicalVideos.com are for general information and are not medical advice. Always consult your own doctor about your health.
When a ventral hernia occurs, it usually arises in the abdominal wall where a previous surgical incision was made. In this area the abdominal muscles have weakened; this results in a bulge or a tear. In the same way that an inner tube pushes through a damaged tire, the inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area of the abdominal wall to form a balloon-like sac. This can allow a loop of intestines or other abdominal contents to push into the sac. If the abdominal contents get stuck within the sac, they can become trapped or “incarcerated.” This could lead to potentially serious problems that might require emergency surgery.

This video shows laparoscopic repair of a ventral hernia. The description explains how a ventral hernia usually arises in the abdominal wall where a previous surgical incision was made, how weakened muscles allow the inner lining of the abdomen to push through and form a sac, and how abdominal contents can become trapped or incarcerated in that sac.
Key points
- Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is shown
- How a ventral hernia arises at a previous surgical incision site is explained
- How weakened abdominal muscles allow a bulge or tear to form is described
- How abdominal contents can push into the hernia sac is explained
- Trapping, or incarceration, of abdominal contents in the sac is discussed
Video Overview
This video presents “Ventral Hernia Laparoscopic Repair” — When a ventral hernia occurs, it usually arises in the abdominal wall where a previous surgical incision was made. In this area the abdominal muscles have weakened; this results in a bulge or a tear. In the same way that an inner tube. Whether you are preparing for a procedure, studying the technique, or learning how a condition is assessed, the recording shows the process as it is performed in practice.
