This novel laparoscopic (LAP) sutureless technique for ventral hernia (VH) and diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) repair was invented in 2009 and called "Slim-Mesh" ("SM") by the author.

It is used to treat small (2-4.9 cm Ø)/medium (5-9.9 cm Ø) VH including large (L)/giant (G)/massive (M) types without loss of domain, i.e. circular or oval shaped VH larger than 10/15/20 cm in diameter or major axis respectively.

The "SM" technique is also used to treat obese (O BMI > 30 kg/m2) VH cases including those with L/G/M VH.

The above technique can also be used to treat DRA O population.

The main objectives are to reduce intra- and postoperative complications and operation time in LAP DRA and VH repair including L/G/M types and VH O cases even those with L/G/M hernia.
