In this prospective study 50 patients were operated, at our institute, over 2.5 years, for bilateral inguinal hernias, which included direct, indirect, recurrent and re-recurrent hernias. Patients were treated by GPRVS method of stoppa. Patients were observed for complications and followed up in O.P.D. for at least 1 year.Results:
Developing pre-peritoneal plane was quite easy and there were minimal complications. Operative time varies from 30 minutes to 90 minutes and recurrence rate was nil at 1 year follow up.Conclusion:
