| Popis: | Giant inguinoscrotal (GIS) hernias are rarely encountered in clinical settings and are oftenassociated with mental neglect for many years. This type of hernia is defined as “giant” if it descends belowthe mid-point of the inner thigh of a patient in an upright position. The laparoscopic repair approach of aGIS hernia is technically challenging. It has been claimed that laparoscopic surgery has several advantagesover the open surgical approach, with less pain and an earlier recovery. The aim of this video is to evaluatethe efficacy of TAPP (laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal) in order to treat a GIS hernia. A 65-year-old male without a relevant past medical history was admitted to theemergency service with abdominal pain, belching and nausea. He denied any other symptoms, and noprevious surgical operations were recorded. Physical examination showed a large mass in the left scrotumbelow the mid-point of the inner thigh of the patient in an upright position. A CT scan confirmed thediagnosis of a GIS. A laparoscopic TAPP procedure was decided upon as the best course of treatment. Results The patient underwent a successful repair procedure. The operation time was 150 min. Nointraoperative blood transfusion was necessary. The patient's diet was resumed on the first day postsurgery, and the postoperative hospital stay was three days. Laparoscopic TAPP repair is a safe and feasible method for surgically managing GIS hernias. |
