Objective  To explore the surgical techniques and the clinical effect of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repair for recurrent inguinal hernia.
Methods  Clinical data of 130 cases of recurrent inguinal hernia who underwent TAPP hernia repair from Mar. 2009 to Dec. 2012 in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital of Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.
Results  Operations were completed successfully in 129 cases and 1 case was converted to open surgery. The operation time was (54.5±16.1) min (30-100min) and the hospital stay was (4.5±2.1) d (2-11d). The rates of postoperative pain, hydrocele, and urinary retention were 3.8% (5/130),11.5% (15/130), and1.5% (2/130) respectively. There were no complications such as foreign body sensation,wound infection,and intestinal obstruction after operation. All cases were followed-up for 7-50 months 〔(24.3±11.3) months)〕 with no recurrence was observed.
Conclusions  Laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair for recurrent inguinal hernia has advantages of minimal invasion and few complications,who is safe and effective.
