Abstract
Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair has many advantages over the open approach. Mesh placement and orientation to overlap the hernia defect is a crucial step. The current techniques for mesh placement are time-consuming. A simple technique for mesh placement during laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is described.Keywords
