Abstract
Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is one of the most common procedures performed in surgical practice worldwide.

This article describes a case report of intestinal obstruction in the immediate post-operative period of a ventral hernia repair, technical details of how to deal with this complication and along with a review of literature on the topic.
