Abstract
Inguinal hernias are one of the most common surgical pathologies requiring operative intervention. One of the most crucial aspects is the choice of surgical technique, especially for patients with a history of multiple abdominal surgeries. The authors present a clinical case of a recurrent inguinal hernia in a patient with a history of multiple open abdominal surgeries. The patient had previously undergone Lichtenstein hernia repair, laparotomy for fecal peritonitis, scheduled abdominal lavages, resection of the colon with ileostomy formation. The patient underwent extended totally extraperitoneal (e-TEP) repair. The authors suggest that extended totally extraperitoneal repair (e-TEP) may be recommended for patients with inguinal hernias who have a history of anterior inguinal canal repair and/or open abdominal surgeries.
