  • Title: [Transperitoneal technique of preperitoneal mesh implantation in laparoscopic hernioplasty of direct and indirect inguinal hernias].

    Abstract:
    The method of transperitoneal application of a large polypropylene-mesh in the preperitoneal space for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is described. The own experiences with a total number of 64 inguinal hernias are presented. The technique takes the principle of conventional hernia repair into account and appears to be a safe and effective way to repair indirect and direct inguinal uni- or bilateral hernias. During a mean follow-up of 24 weeks one recurrence occurred resulting from an inadequate application of the mesh. The technique presented is effective for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with low morbidity. Long-term follow-up is needed to determine late recurrence rate.
