Laparoscopic transabdominal approach and its modified technique for incarcerated scrotal hernias

Abstract

Using the above modifications, we were able to perform laparoscopic repair of large incarcerated scrotal hernias, which previously would have been treated with an open procedure.

Causes of recurrence in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair

“…preperitoneal. As surgeons are becoming more comfortable with laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy, it is now routinely used for the inguinoscrotal hernias where TEP method could act as an adjunct to open and TAPP may act as a fall back method for TEP [27][28][29]. These two techniques are particularly helpful when treating a recurrence from an open-approach as the plane of dissection and placement of mesh would not have been violated previously.…”

Clinical research of preperitoneal drainage after endoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair

“…Besides the perishing pathological conditions and possible organ injuries, the extensive adhesiolysis, remnant of hernia sac and the need for mesh fixation with tacks that may be a cause for seroma should also be taken into consideration. Up to now, laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal approach (TAPP) is the preferred method to deal with incarcerated hernia by most surgeons [18][19][20][21][22]. Ferzli GS et al [23] have used a combined technique to scrotal hernia.…”

Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair for strangulated inguinal hernia

“…Therefore, minimally invasive surgeries are preferred. However, given the scarcity of data on TAPP in cases of strangulated hernia , its effectiveness and safety have not yet been determined.…”
