title: [Endoscopic hernia repair].
abstract: A laparoscopic procedure for surgical hernia repair is reported. In comparison to other methods we do not only remove the peritoneal sac, but close although the inguinal canal with a nonresorbable marlex mesh. Up to now we practiced this technique in 35 patients. First post-operative results are encouraging but nothing can be said about longterm results, especially the recurrence rate.
