Medtronic / Clinical Solutions / Minimally Invasive Ventral Hernia Repair

Maximise results for everyone

Ventral hernia repair may seem like a simple procedure, but complications that come from open surgery impacts both on hospitals and on patients’ recovery.

Minimally Invasive Ventral Hernia Surgery is an effective alternative technique to open surgery that can help you maximise results for you and your patients.

Minimum disruption, 
maximum results.

Ventral hernia repairs using Minimally Invasive Surgery have been shown to  reduce hospital stays by nearly* 4.6 days compared to open surgery.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 
Find out more about how this technique can maximise results with minimum disruption with the Danish Hernia Guidelines.

Minimum complications, 
maximum recovery.

Compared to open surgery, Minimally Invasive Surgery for ventral hernia repair reduces blood loss7,9  and surgical site infections1,4,7,8,10,11,12,13,14  enhancing patient recovery. Medtronic is committed to do post market clinical result surveillance and to provide valuable clinical evidence.
