“SLIM-MESH”: a brand-new tacks or straps-only fixation technique ( ) for the laparoscopic repair of abdominal wall hernias.
This video shows the “Slim-Mesh” repair of a symptomatic super giant pseudohernia of the abdominal wall front due to atrophy and diastasis recti abdominis in an obese patient. The operation involves tailoring and rolling up a massive (30 X 15 cm) prosthetic mesh on the operative bench according to the “Slim-Mesh” technique so that it becomes a super giant slim cigarette. Operation carried out by Dr Silvio Alen Canton. |
