Laparoscopic Iliopubic Tract Repair with Transabdominal Preperitoneal Hernioplasty after Radical Prostatectomy.
Abstract
In patients with inguinal hernias who have undergone radical prostatectomy, dissecting the medial preperitoneal space is difficult because of the presence of fibrotic scars. It is also difficult to guarantee sufficient space for mesh implantation. We added laparoscopic iliopubic tract repair (IPTR) to transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernioplasty, and evaluated this for the treatment of inguinal hernias after radical prostatectomy.
