The aim of this study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of a hybrid mesh (GORE® SYNECOR Intraperitoneal Biomaterial) in patients with a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or more undergoing laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) with intraperitoneal position of the mesh.
A prospective Italian multicenter observational trial will be conducted in 8 different Italian centers to compare the effectiveness and feasibility of treatment of Incisional Hernia with GORE® SYNECOR Intraperitoneal Biomaterial mesh in patients with BMI \>30 kg/m2. This study was reviewed and approved by the local regional Ethics Committee. The study adhered to the CONSORT guidelines in reporting this trial's results

Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM) Plus with closure of the hernia defect will be performed according to the common recommendations. The closure of the wall defect will be decided according to the surgeon evaluations: hernia size and choice of technique will be recorded in the database. The mesh will have an overlap of at least 5 cm on all sides of the defect. Dimension of the mesh will be sized to overlap the hernia orifice by at least five centimetres and placed in the intraperitoneal position. Using non-articulating laparoscopic fixation devices, 5.1-mm non-absorbable or absorbable tacks will be then positioned around the circumference of the prosthesis in a 3-row manner or 2-row manner based on the intraoperative findings, the patient's specific situation and the operating surgeon's decision.

An abdominal ultrasonography with the patient lying prone, will be performed in in all patients (symptomatic or asymptomatic) providing any valuable information about Hernia Recurrence onset. Valsalva maneuver will be performed during the ultrasonography scan. Size and location of all imaging detected Hernia Recurrence will be recorded, as well as any other patient's complaint.
Time frame: Patients are postoperatively examined at 1 months.

Postoperative pain
Postoperative pain will be recorded according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The Visual Analogue Scale consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be').
Time frame: Postoperative pain will be recorded according to visual analogue scale Visual Analogue Scale at 1 month.
