[Laparoscopic endoscopic pre-peritoneal combined hernia operation in incarcerated indirect inguinal hernia].
We report on a 73-year-old patient with an incarcerated right sided groin hernia. First the incarcerated small bowel was gently retracted laparoscopically; then using the extraperitoneal endoscopic approach the hernial sack was redused and a 15/13 cm prosthesis (polypropylene mesh) brought in appropriate position and fixed with endo-staples. Prior to closing the trocar-incisions the vitality of the small bowel was checked once again laparoscopically.
