Abstract

in the second group. The median suturing time for fascial closure was 15 minutes. The average surgery time was 98 minutes in the first group and 96 minutes in the second group. The mean follow-up period was 80 days for Group 1 and 135 days for Group 2. No hernia recurrence or mortality occurred in this study. Conclusion The barbed suture closure technique is a fast, safe, and effective technique for fascial closure during laparoscopic ventral hernia repair in combination with mesh placement. Further evidence to support these findings and longer follow-up periods are warranted to evaluate long-term outcomes.
