BACKGROUND: Incisional hernias develop in the repairs of the large umbilical hernias in almost 50% and recurrence in the repair of the incisional hernias in almost 80%. We looked at the results of our method of repair to see how good it is METHOD: I describe a technique where the hernia is repaired by combined laparoscopicand open closure of the defect where it is more than 3 cm andopen closure of the defect where it is more than 3cm. Laparoscopy is first perfomed and remove all the adhesions and reduce all the contents of the hernia into the abdominal cavity. Then the hernia is tackled by open method. The skin could be excised if really required. The sac is excised. The edges of the hernia are trimmed. Many interrupted far near sutures applied and the edges are brought together with a continuous suture no �??1�??PDS suture and the interrupted sutures are tied. An appropriate size mesh is inserted into abdomen and fixed to the anterior abdominal wall with �??Protack�?? stapler and some sutures. A subcutaneous drain is inserted. The skin wounds are closed with clips or sutures as required. A pressure dressing applied. Results: 27 repaired by combined open and laparoscopic method and 47 by percutaneous and laparoscopic methods. Theseroma was minimal in 5 patients in combined open and none in percutaneous ones. There was no recurrence of hernias up to now Discussion: I strongly feel that the hernias have to be repaired by combined Laparoscopic and open/percutaneous means.
