Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Generous overlap by a well-transfixed mesh is important in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR). Mesh is usually introduced through a 10-mm trocar and fixed by tackers or transfixed by sutures. Ten-millimeter trocar sites are more prone to hernia development. Transfixation done using a suture passer inflicts some trauma and the site may become painful. This study reports a mesh insertion technique avoiding a 10-mm myofascial port, double-breasted fascial closure of the hernial defect, and transfixation in a relatively atraumatic manner. Methods: This prospective study was conducted by enrolling the patients attending our surgery clinic. They were candidates for LVHR. Informed consent was obtained from each patient before the procedure. The study was approved by the Ethical Review Board of the Hospital and conducted as per good clinical practice (GCP) guidelines. Results: Between April 2004 and June 2006, 29 ventral hernia patients were enrolled without any exclusion. All patients had LVHR performed with this technique. Mean operative time and hospital stay were 65 min and <1 day, respectively. There were no perioperative complications, conversion, infection, trocar site or recurrent herniation or mortality. The majority of the patients were operated on as day-care surgery. Patients were followed up telephonically for the first 48 h and then by visiting us regularly. There was no postoperative visible bulge. Conclusion: Mesh insertion by avoiding 10-mm trocar, double-breasted defect closure, and transfixation using atraumatic needles is a technically easy, safe, and patient-friendly procedure. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
