Description
Summary:[...]the use of laparoscopic techniques in repair of challenging lumbar hernias using the trans- abdominal preperitoneal approach for placement of the mesh can be safe, feasible, and effective. The peri- toneum is a natural separating barrier, and the pre- peritoneal space is an ideal place for adequate mesh placement and fixation without excessive use of tissue- penetrating devices that may lead to nerve injury and chronic pain.
