Short-term complications after minimally invasive retromuscular ventral hernia repair: no need for preoperative weight loss or smoking cessation?

There was no association between obesity or smoking and surgical complication in patients undergoing minimally invasive retromuscular repair. If the results of the current study are confirmed, patients who are unable to obtain weight loss or smoking cessation may be offered minimally invasive retromuscular ventral hernia repair without inducing an increased risk of short-term complications.
