Abstract:
Laparoscopic herniorrhaphy is still a controversial procedure. Two cases of intestinal obstruction after laparoscopic herniorrhaphy are reported. The clinical features, possible mechanisms, managements, and outcomes were analyzed. The results showed that preexisting mesenteric defect, fibrin depositions, and longer operation time were predisposing factors for post-laparoscopic herniorrhaphy intestinal obstruction. These findings suggest that cleansing of fibrin deposition and shorter operation times may be important to avoid postoperative intestinal obstruction.
