Abstract
Incisional and ventral hernias are good indications for laparoscopic hernia repair. A successful repair requires complete covering of the hernia defect, adequate tension of the prosthesis, and secure stapling by a hernia stapler. The authors introduce their technique using a double-straight needle device. This technique is easy and quick and achieves adequate fixation between the prosthesis and the abdominal wall, which reduces operating time and provides cosmetic benefit.Keywords
