    Author: McKernan JB.
    Journal: Endosc Surg Allied Technol; 1993 Aug; 1(4):198-203. PubMed ID: 8050020.
    Abstract:
    This report describes my group's experience with repairing 100 direct and indirect inguinal hernias using a solely extraperitoneal, laparoscopic prosthetic procedure. No unusual complications were noted and all patients were discharged on the day of or the day following surgery and resumed normal activities within one week. The surgical technique is outlined, with attention given to general guidelines performing this minimally invasive repair procedure.
