Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair (TEP)

Totally extraperitoneal (TEP) laparoscopic repair of a right indirect inguinal hernia. The preperitoneal space was developed with a balloon dissector, and a 15×10 cm polypropylene mesh was placed covering all potential hernia orifices.

Excellent visualisation of the myopectineal orifice was achieved throughout. No injury to the inferior epigastric vessels, vas deferens, or femoral nerve. Mesh fixation was achieved with fibrin glue.

The patient was discharged the same afternoon and reported minimal discomfort at the two-week follow-up with no evidence of recurrence.
