Brief Summary   Various methods have been designed to treat the ventral abdominal hernias. Initially, open surgeries were mainly performed. However, over the last few decades, laparoscopic treatment of ventral hernias have gained much popularity. Two important laparoscopic methods of ventral abdominal hernia repair- Intraperitoneal onlay mesh plus repair and transabdominal pre peritoneal mesh plus repair are being widely used. Through this RCT, we will be focusing on comparing these two surgical procedures in terms of postoperative pain and other postoperative complications like seroma formation, hernia recurrence, mesh infection and operative time.
