Abstract Aim To analyze the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of a systematized laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal approach for recurrent inguinal hernia. Material & Methods A retrospective observational analysis database between July 2012 2022. Inclusion: all patients with standard tapp to treat The variables were compared our results in primary hernias: finding (cause type usi...

Abstract Aim Inguinal hernias (IH) can be repaired via open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches, with or without mesh. We aim to understand the changing trends in IH repair that may serve as a guideline toward tailored approach for hernia repair. Materials & Methods All patients undergoing primary from 2009–2021 by single surgeon at specialty center were included. Temporal differences eva...

BACKGROUND Lymphatic obstruction by Wuchereria bancrofti is thought to be the mechanism for development of tropical hydrocele in men and for elephantiasis, mostly in women. Hydrocele prevalence is used to determine the effectiveness of para site eradication programs. METHODS We maintained a prospective log of operations performed at 1 Canadian Field Hospital during its relief mission to Léogâ...

INTRODUCTION We report the case of a true hermaphrodite with testicular seminoma with resulting metastases to the inguinal lymph nodes eight months after radical orchidectomy. This is an unusual presentation of testicular cancer and, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of this kind in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 45-year-old Caucasian true hermaphrodite, raised as a male, de...

BACKGROUND Microsurgical sub-inguinal varicocelectomy has been associated with extremely high success rates and minimal postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to report the techniques and outcomes of varicocelectomy using a modified microsurgical method, specifically a loupe-assisted high inguinal varicocelectomy instead of the usual microscope and sub-inguinal approach. METHO...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anatomical differences of fetus and adults concerning the inguinal region of male gender, as well as the presence of possible morphological basis for the higher incidence of inguinal hernias in the right side in both groups. METHODS Twenty human stillborn fetuses and twenty in natura adult male corpses were dissected in order to compare the length of the inguinal can...

The preperitoneal repair of an inguinal hernia (IH),performed by a classical anterior transinguinal approach is a simple and safe procedure, particularly indicated in case of evident weakness of the trasversalis fascia (TF).
