Abstract:
Intraperitoneal complications related to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair by transabdominal approach had been described. The authors report the first case of postoperative acute appendicitis in a patient submitted to a transuretral prostate resection and bilateral inguinal hernioplasty by the TAPP technique, resulting in a second laparoscopic intervention.
