Both options: Hernias from previous incisions are frequently (about 85%) associated with multiple hernia defects undetected on physical exam. Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is more difficult than open, and only used about 25% of cases in the us. It is however associated with a lower wound complication rate, which prompted the va system to stop a comparative study. Need a proper eval by a hernia surgeon.
