Abstract:
Before laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair can be widely adopted, general surgeons must become familiar with the laparoscopic presentation of the inguinal anatomy and must obtain practice with an effective technique that follows the surgical tenets of a good repair. This paper discusses some of the possible pitfalls of performing laparoscopic hernia repair and presents recommendations for success, including a brief description of a technique that has been used successfully in > 60 cases.
