Abstract
Abdominal hernia diseases are the most common cause of hospitalization in Western countries. Moreover, treatment of inguinal hernias is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the world [1]. Some reports have listed specific indications for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair over open repair, including recurrent hernias, bilateral hernias, sports-oriented patients, associated pathologies, and technique request by patients [2, 3]. We described a transabdominal preperitoneal repair because we believe that this approach gives all the advantages of laparoscopic surgery. Even if TAPP hernia repair is a possible therapeutic option in scrotal and incarcerated hernia, operation time, complication rate, and frequency of recurrences are higher than in normal hernia repair [3]. A number of studies have shown that laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernias has advantages over conventional repair as reduced postoperative pain, diminished requirement for analgesics, and earlier return to work [4, 5].
