Totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernioplasty is a consolidated approach for treating recurrent and bilateral inguinal hernias. However, it may be associated, albeit very rarely, with vascular lesions that can endanger the patient's life. A proper anatomic knowledge of the posterior aspect of the inguinal region and a perfect command of the laparoscopic technique are essential for avoiding and, if necessary, treating these lesions. We present an unusual case of an arterial lesion of the aberrant obturator artery of the corona mortis during fixation of the mesh with a tacker.

Purpose: While surgeons agree that perioperative field blocks should be performed for open inguinal hernia surgery, there lacks consensus in the minimally invasive context. Prior small-scale randomized trials study pain scores only up to 24 h postoperatively. Thus, we sought to investigate the analgesic benefits of a bupivacaine transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in the first 4 postoperative days.

Sciatic hernia, a rare type of pelvic floor hernia, presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the first totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair of a sciatic hernia, which was performed in a 63-year-old woman who presented with vomiting and poor dietary intake. Computed tomography revealed a strangulated femoral hernia and an incidental herniation of the sigmoid colon through the right sciatic foramen.

Lumbar hernias are a rare form of abdomen wall hernias. As this is a rare disease, treatment options are not standardized. Most case reports, even recent ones, describe open techniques.

Background: In recent years, laparoscopic hernia repair, i.e. transabdominal pre-peritoneal and totally extraperitoneal repairs have been considered the method of choice, especially for recurrent hernias after open repair or bilateral inguinal hernias.
