Chronic muscle retraction along with the reduced volume of the peritoneal cavity can lead to potential problems such as abdominal compartment syndrome, ventilatory restriction and an elevated risk of hernia recurrence. This is affected even further by obesity; a high body mass index is strongly associated with poor outcomes after ventral hernia repair. In these individuals, preoperative preparation is vital as it can reduce surgical risks and improve patients’ outcomes. There are many strategies available. Nonetheless, an individualized case approach by a multidisciplinary team is crucial to accurately treat this troublesome pathology. We present the case of a 41-year-old obese patient with a loss of domain ventral hernia. As he had a drug addiction and several psychologic difficulties, a tailored approach was needed to successfully treat the hernia. After preoperative preparation and surgery, the patient u...
