Abstract：The treatment of obesity combined with recurrent ventral hernia(RVH)is a major challenge in clinical practice.Understanding the physiological characteristics of RVH in obesity patients and developing an appropriate recurrent ventral hernia repair(RVHR)strategy based on accurate preoperative evaluation and adequate preoperative preparation(including weight loss)are of great significance for improving the effectiveness of RVHR and reducing the risk of complications.The complexity of RVHR in obesity patients determines that it should be carried out by experienced hernia and abdominal wall surgeon teams.The application of new technologies and mesh will provide important help in further optimizing the results of RVHR in the near future.
