Number of attempts to fix the mesh with a novel non-penetrating fixation device (LiquiBandFix8) will be recorded. This novel device uses n-butyl cyanoacrylate and a defined amount of glue can be delivered with this 5mm laparoscopic instrument (liquid anchors). In addition, closure of peritoneum should be accomplished using this device.
