Description
Summary:Here, we report a case of laparoscopic trans-inguinal hernia repair (transabdominal preperitoneal repair or TAPP) for a recurrent inguinal hernia following direct Kugel surgery. A 71-year-old man underwent direct Kugel hernioplasty for a right inguinal hernia at another hospital 4 years prior to presentation. The patient subsequently underwent laparoscopic surgery using the TAPP technique, during which the abdominal cavity was visualized with a laparoscope, revealing a tubular mesh protruding towards the abdominal cavity with a direct and indirect hernia ring. Three months post-surgery, no recurrence was observed.
