We hereby report a rare case of pseudoaneurysm of the left Inferior epigastric artery following extended totally extraperitoneal (e-TEP) repair for bilateral inguinal hernia. The patient developed swelling and pain in the lower abdomen one month following surgery. He was diagnosed to have a pseudoaneurysm of the left inferior epigastric artery with significant collection in the retro rectus plane. The pseudoaneurysm was thrombosed using Thrombin injection under ultrasound guidance. He was subsequently taken up for laparoscopic pseudo aneurysm excision with hematoma evacuation and ultrasound-guided transfascial ligation of the inferior epigastric artery with mesh explantation. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated and at follow-up, the patient's symptoms were resolved.
