title: Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
abstract: Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) after cardiac surgery and traditional open abdominal surgery has been reported. This disorder also has been associated with minor operative procedures with the patient under local anesthesia. However, SIADH after laparoscopic surgery is not well documented in the literature. We report a case of SIADH after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in an elderly woman.
