Level 4/5	Laparoscopic transperitoneal and total extraperitoneal preperitoneal/sublay repair are surgical options for the treatment of small- and medium-sized ventral and incisional hernias (EHS classification W1 and W2)
	Both techniques allow the implantation of large standard synthetic prostheses
	These procedures are technically demanding and have longer operating times than open preperitoneal/sublay repair and laparoscopic IPOM repair but do not require barrier meshes
	Laparoscopic preperitoneal repair combines the advantages of open preperitoneal repair and laparoscopic IPOM technique: small incisions and extraperitoneal mesh position
	Complication rates are low
