The present study demonstrates the safety of performing LDR in patient candidates for bariatric surgery in cases of a large abdominal hernia (W2-W3) with a low risk of incarceration or an asymptomatic abdominal hernia. In the case of a small abdominal hernia (W1) or strongly symptomatic abdominal hernia, repair before bariatric surgery, along with subsequent bariatric surgery and any revision of the abdominal wall surgery with weight loss, is preferable.
