A Contralateral Complication of Extra-peritoneal Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
Abstract:
A 63 year old female underwent an uncomplicated total extraperitoneal repair of a right direct inguinal hernia. One week later she presented with a strangulated left femoral hernia. We believe the dissection of the extraperitoneal space caused bleeding which tracked down through the femoral canal resulting in a femoral hernia. To date there are no reports of such a complication following total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair in the literature.
