Abstract
The choice of surgical technique for inguinal recurred hernia repair is
still in debate. Several international guidelines recommend to perform
hernioplasty avoiding a second surgical approach in the same field
used for the first procedure. However, is not a widely shared
recommendation and the chosen approach could be variable according
to surgeon’s preferences and experience. We report a case of recurrent
inguinal hernia after Lichtenstein procedure successfully managed by
laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) procedure. The
postoperative course was uneventful.
