title: [Laparoscopic treatment for parapubic hernia, complications after radical prostatectomy].
abstract: We present laparoscopic method of treatment of parapubic hernia that may occur after radical prostatectomy performed due to prostatic cancer. This kind of hernia is closely related to the weakening of the rectus muscle of abdomen insertions to the pubic bone that takes place during the operations using lower midline incision in order to reach organs in the small pelvis. Because of its localization it may be misdiagnosed as a commoner direct inquinal hernia. In this case the traditional anterior approach would not be curative. Using laparoscopy as it is suggested by authors will make the proper diagnosis much more easy and thus will enable effective treatment of the patient.
