ABSTRACT
Fifteen adult male patients with recurrent inguinal hernia were treated with laparoscopic transabdominal preperitorteal repair [TAPP]. Controllable intraoperative complications were recorded in 3 patients [20%] with no conversion to open. No major postoperative complications were encountered. The mean operative time was 77.3 minutes. The mean time of ambulation out of the bed was 10.3 hours and the mean hospital stay was 19.8 hours. The mean time to return to usual social activity was 8.5 days. During the short period of follow up [6-24 months] no recurrence was reported. Long term follow up is needed for proper evaluation of this new procedure
