Laparoscopic Repair of Linea Alba Hernia

Laparoscopic repair may be considered when a symptomatic linea alba hernia is present and assessed as suitable for a minimally invasive approach, or when there are multiple/recurrent defects requiring combined intra-abdominal assessment. The choice is based on a comprehensive evaluation of factors such as the size and location of the defect, abdominal wall condition, previous laparotomy history and adhesions, overall health and anesthesia risks, and the availability of mesh and fixation methods.
