Ventral hernia repair is one of the most common abdominal operations. Recurrence rate remains high despite all preventive measures. "Tension-free" repair has been postulated as the surgical method of choice. A laparoscopic approach to ventral hernia repair has been described recently. Theoretical advantages of a laparoscopic repair include faster recovery, less postoperative pain, less morbidity, and a better cosmetic result. However, the approach requires advanced laparoscopic skills and familiarity with its technique. An animal model of ventral hernia, suitable for laparoscopic repair, was developed to be used for educational and experimental purposes. The model is simple, reliable, and reproducible in any minimally invasive surgery facility. We conclude that the pig can be used as an excellent model to learn the technique and evaluate a variety of endpoints for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.
腹疝修补术是最常见的腹部手术之一。尽管采取了所有预防措施，复发率仍然很高。“无张力”修补术已被假定为首选的手术方法。最近有人描述了一种腹腔镜下腹疝修补术的方法。腹腔镜修补术的理论优势包括恢复更快、术后疼痛更少、发病率更低以及美容效果更好。然而，这种方法需要先进的腹腔镜技术和对其技术的熟悉程度。为了用于教育和实验目的，开发了一种适用于腹腔镜修补术的腹疝动物模型。该模型简单、可靠，并且在任何微创手术设施中都可重复。我们得出结论，猪可以用作学习该技术和评估腹腔镜腹疝修补术各种终点指标的优秀模型。
