Comparison of results after rTARUP and lap IPOM in patients with small- and medium-sized ventral hernia. Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing rTARUP or IPOM repair for small or medium-sized primary ventral and incisional hernias. The primary outcome was the postoperative need for transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block or epidural catheter, secondary outcomes were 30-day complications, and length of stay. All patients underwent elective surgery and were followed for 30 days postoperatively.
