Incisional hernias are still a challenging problem for the surgeon. Their primary repair leads to high recurrence rates (up to 50%) because of the tension created and myocutaneous flap necrosis[1,2].

Many techniques have been proposed over time to reduce tension, such as relaxing incisions, and compartment release. Unfortunately, the results are far from being optimal[6,7]. Furthermore, large, full-thickness, abdominal wall defects secondary to wide resection of malignant tumors, traumatic injuries, or congenital abnormalities, cannot be closed primarily. The use of prosthetic meshes has then become necessary. Along with the traditional open techniques of mesh implantation, the more recent laparoscopic approach has gained popularity because of the decrease in wound infection, recurre...
