Simple technique to manage redundant skin after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair

The redundant skin left behind after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair overlies a dead space that is a potential site for seroma formation. This predisposes patients to surgical‐site infection and compromises the cosmetic outcome of the procedure, which is a key feature of the minimally invasive approach. We present a simple technique to deal with this problem.
