A description of two cases of internal herniation caused by a defect in the closure of the peritoneal flap during a trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal procedure is presented here. They were both successfully treated laparoscopically. This rare condition should be considered when patients who have had recent trans-abdominal surgery for inguinal hernia repair present with colicky lower abdominal pain--its aetiology may well be due to technical error. It is already established that laparoscopy is useful as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in emergency cases, but it is also true that it is useful in case of early post-operative period complications following any laparoscopic procedure, such as the laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

TAPP versus lichtenstein techniques for bilateral inguinal hernia repair: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. However, very few studies report data on the laparoscopic advantages of bilateral inguinal hernia (BIH) repair over the open approach. Therefore, this meta-analysis was conducted to compare the effectiveness of the laparoscopic trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) technique with the open Lichtenstein repair technique (OLR) for the repair of BIH.

Background: The incidence of direct inguinal hernia in the pediatric population is relatively low and is usually discovered intraoperatively, rendering it unfamiliar to most pediatric surgeons. The traditional approach involves directly addressing the peritoneal defect, which includes dissecting the sac and repairing the peritoneum, reinforced with the umbilical ligament. In this paper, we present our experience with a novel approach to anatomical repair utilizing a non-mesh transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach.

Background: The repair of recurrent inguinal hernias after prosthetic mesh repair is challenging due to the technical complexity and complications associated with it. As well as the increased risk of recurrence due to weakened tissues and distorted anatomy. The Posterior Pre-Peritoneal Approach yields significantly better results than the anterior approach due to its distance from previously scarred tissue.
