Prophylactic closure of trocar orifices with an intraperitoneal mesh (ventralex) in laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Obes Surg. 2008 Nov;18(11):1489-91. doi: 10.1007/s11695-008-9598-4. Epub 2008 Jun 24. PMID: 18574643.0960-892310.1007/s11695-008-9598-4https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/117166Laparoscopic surgery reduces, but not eliminates, the rate of incisional hernia. It is accepted that large trocar orifices should be sutured, in order to prevent future herniation. In morbidly obese patients, the closure of the anterior fascia is a very difficult job, and it does not prevent from preperitoneal herniation. Ventralex (R) composite mesh is a very easy-to-place device, which closes satisfactorily both the peritoneal opening and the subcutaneous trocar pathway. We recommend its use for large diameter orifices and Hasson orifices in bariatric patients.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/journal article1708-0428https://doi.org/10.1007/s11695-008-9598-4https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18574643/https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11695-008-9598-4restricted access617Cirugía bariátricaAdhesivo tisular de fibrinaCiencias Biomédicas32 Ciencias Médicas
