Patients And Methods: We studied a prospective cohort of 46 consecutive patients from January 2019 to June 2022 who underwent MIE for oesophageal malignancy.
Background: Minimally invasive surgeries for inguinal hernia repair have been reduced post-operative morbidity. However, certain complications such as seroma formation are unavoidable. In this study, we introduce a newer technique of reducing seroma formation by fenestration of the pseudo-sac (thickened transversalis fascia) in patients undergoing laparoscopic hernia repair for uncomplicated direct inguinal hernia.
