ExtrAperitoneaL Plasty vs Intraperitoneal oNlay mEsh in Ventral Hernia Repair (ALPINE)
This study investigates on the effect of two different operative techniques to treat abdominal wall hernias. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the eTEP (Extended totally extraperitoneal repair) technique leads to a better outcome than the IPOM (Intraperitoneal onlay mesh) technique. The main questions it aims to answer are: * pain after the operation * rate of complications * rate of recurrence and reoperations * quality of life. Participants will: Either be operated using the eTEP or the IPOM technique. Be followed up either in person or via email / phone call at day 1, day 7, day 14, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1, 3 and 5 years after the surgery to asses the above-stated main and some more outcomes.
