Sutureless “Slim-Mesh” Technique for the Repair of Abdominal-Wall Hernias in the Obese Population
The sutureless "Slim-Mesh" technique implements the laparoscopic approach to repair ventral hernias in the obese/superobese populations rather than open surgery or traditional transfixation suture-based laparoscopy, including cases with large-giant/massive and multiple widely-spaced hernias. This study proves that "Slim-Mesh" is safe, straightforward, quick, easy-to-reproduce, and economical.
