Abstract:
The safe and effective performance of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair requires a working knowledge of pre-peritoneal anatomy. Most surgeons are unfamiliar with the retro-peritoneal view of the groin. A model has been developed which allows surgeons to learn pre-peritoneal anatomy, to practice laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy and to assess their repairs. This model is a valuable laparoendoscopic educational tool.
