Popis: Aim Retromuscular or sublay meshplasty has been advocated to reinstate abdominal wall strength following ventral hernia repair while avoiding complications like visceral adhesions, fistula formation and mesh infection. We aim to compare two minimally invasive approaches of sublay hernioplasty for irreducible ventral midline hernia with respect to their efficacy and safety. Material & Methods We performed a retrospective study of 73 patients operated for primary and recurrent irreducible ventral midline hernia by eTEP or TARM repair with sublay meshplasty. We compared the intraoperative and post-operative complications, post-operative pain score, subjective technical ease of procedure, patient satisfaction and recurrence after 3 months and 12 months of surgery. Results & Conclusion There was no significant difference in the outcome of surgery and complications by the two techniques. However, there was a significant subjective technical ease in the TARM group (n=35) due to ergonomic port placement and adhesiolysis and reduction of hernia contents done under vision. The number of ports used and post-operative pain score were higher in the TARM group as compared to that of the eTEP group. 96% of the patients belonging to both groups were satisfied with their surgery after a year on telephonic follow-up. However, a multicentric study with a larger sample size would be required to establish the advantage of one technique over the other.
