title: Bilateral inguinal hernia repaired by laparoscopic technique: a rare complication of femorofemoral bypass.
abstract: Femorofemoral bypass is an established procedure for limb salvage and disabling claudication. However, surgical exposure of the femoral artery may result in damage leading to development of an inguinal hernia. Herein we report the first case of laparoscopic repair of bilateral inguinal hernias that developed after femorofemoral bypass.
