Level 3 Laparoscopic IPOM is feasible for defects larger than 15 cm.
Level 2B Hernia recurrence is more likely with defects wider than 10 cm.
Level 3 The operating time is longer with defects larger than 15 cm.
Level 2B Mesh sizes up to 1,250 cm2 can be used.
Level 4 Mesh sizes up to 2,400 cm2 can be used.
Level 4 LVHR is feasible for defects of up to 880 cm2.
