- Abstract
We describe a step by step technique for repair of a small umbilical hernia laparoscopically that aims to provide an excellent technical and cosmetic result without a significant increase in operative time or cost. Our mesh fixation technique improves accuracy of mesh placement and replaces transfascial sutures and the use of stapling devices which may help in reducing post-operative pain and procedural costs.
