摘要
Introduction: Patients with lower abdominal scars are generally excluded from laparoscopic hernia repair due to the perceived technical difficulty and risk of visceral injury. This study examines the outcome of a series of patients who underwent totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair despite previous lower abdominal surgery. Methods: Retrospective review of 47 consecutive patients who underwent TEP inguinal hernia repair in the presence of lower abdominal scars between 1993 and 2002. Results: Thirty-five unilateral and 12 bilateral TEP hernia repairs were performed in the presence of 20 appendicectomy, 10 lower midline, 18 suprapubic and 5 paramedian incisions. Two cases were converted to open repair. There were no major complications and no early or late recurrences. Median operating time was 67.5 min and 83% of patients were managed as day cases. Conclusions: Totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repair can be carried out safely in the presence of scars from previous lower abdominal surgery. © Springer-Verlag 2005.
