Abstract

Background: Ventral hernias are one of the commonly encountered diseases in surgical 
outpatient department. There are various types of ventral hernias from epigastric hernia, 
umbilical hernia, spigelian hernia and even incisional hernia. Such patients need careful 
evaluation. The repair ranges from tissue repair to laparoscopic surgery. There are multiple 
surgeries available for ventral hernia but the Rives Stoppa is now considered the gold standard of 
ventral hernia repair which is the sublay meshplasty.
