[The role of laparoscopy in treatment of inguinal hernia]
Abstract
The epidemiology, symptomatology and complications of the inguinal hernia were presented. Indications for operative treatment were discussed according to contemporary approach to currently used techniques, particularly laparoscopy. The anatomy of the groin seen from the inside as during laparoscopy was described. Different techniques of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy with particular attention to TAPP method were discussed. Drawbacks, advantages and complications of those techniques were given.
