With the laparoscopic approach, the risk of visceral lesions and mortality might be higher as supposed before. The literature contains five cases of mortality (0,6%,1,1%,3,1%,3,4%) but the number of patients who progressed to sepsis and required intensive care was more than double. Bowel injury and mortality show a significant tendency to decrease, as the surgeon\u2019s experience increases, with the possibility of occurence falling to below 1% after 50 cases. Visceral lesions are not exclusive to large defect or patients considered high risk. The risk does not appear to be predictable preoperatively.
