Abstract:
Laparoscopic mesh hernia repair is an effective form of management of inguinal hernias. Polypropylene mesh is generally placed at the internal rings extending across the midline resulting in an intense fibrotic reaction that can make subsequent radical retropubic prostatectomy and lymphadenectomy difficult. We report the first case of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy following laparoscopic bilateral mesh hernia repair.
