Fig. 1

Assessment items for video review. Left panel, items regarding dissection (green zone): (a) dissection until exposure of Cooper’s ligament, (b) dissection until exposure of the rectus abdominis muscle, (c) dissection > 2 cm lateral from the lateral triangle, (d) dissection > 2 cm anterior from the hernia orifice, (e) dissection > 2 cm posterior to the hernia orifice. Right panel, items regarding mesh size or placement (blue mesh): (f) sufficient prosthesis size, (g) prosthesis overlap > 2 cm medial to the MPO, (h) prosthesis overlap > 2 cm lateral to the MPO, (i) prosthesis overlap > 2 cm anterior to the MPO, (j) prosthesis overlap > 2 cm posterior to the MPO, (k) presence of mesh folding or crinkling posteriorly, and (l) prosthesis fixation (purple button). Red lines show the MPO
