The defect was closed in 865 of 3090 laparoscopic procedures (28.0 per cent). The median follow-up time was 4.0 (i.q.r. 1.8\u20136.8) years. Rates of readmission (502 of 3090 (16.2 per cent) versus 442 of 2288 (19.3 per cent); P\u2009=\u20090.003) and reoperation for complication (216 of 3090 (7.0 per cent) versus 288 of 2288 (12.5 per cent); P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) were significantly lower for laparoscopic than open repairs. Reoperation for bowel obstruction or bowel resection was twice as common after laparoscopic repair compared with open repair (20 of 3090 (0.6 per cent) versus 6 of 2288 (0.3 per cent); P\u2009=\u20090.044). Patients were significantly less likely to undergo repair of recurrence following laparoscopic compared with open repair of defect widths 2\u20136 cm (P\u2009=\u20090.002).<\/jats:p>\n
