How i Do It: Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair

Abstract

Inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is one of the most commonly performed general surgery operations. Currently, an inguinal hernia can be repaired through an open, laparoscopic, or robot-assisted approach. Herein, we detail our perioperative evaluation and management of patients with a groin hernia as well as our surgical technique for the performance of the laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal IHR.
