  • Title: Transperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in patients after laparoscopic prosthetic mesh inguinal herniorrhaphy.
    Author: Brown JA, Dahl DM.
    Journal: Urology; 2004 Feb; 63(2):380-2. PubMed ID: 14972502.
    Abstract:
    Open radical retropubic prostatectomy has been reported to be difficult or impossible in patients who have previously undergone laparoscopic mesh bilateral inguinal hernia repair. We report 2 cases of successful laparoscopic transperitoneal radical prostatectomy performed in patients after prosthetic mesh inguinal herniorrhaphy. The first patient had undergone open bilateral preperitoneal inguinal hernia mesh repair 5 years previously and right laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia mesh repair 7 months previously. The second patient had undergone bilateral transabdominal preperitoneal mesh inguinal herniorrhaphy 1 year previously.
