| Summary: | Endolaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is the preferred modality of repair today. Most inguinal and pelvic hernias are suitable for repair with minimal access techniques. These include hernias encountered in a wide variety of clinical settings such as sliding hernias, irreducible hernias, obstructed hernias, femoral and obturator hernias. The teaching videos under this series of videos on endolaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair demonstrate the surgical approach and operative steps for hernia repair in diverse clinical scenarios. This video on Endoscopic Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) exploration for undescended testes, orchidopexy and hernia repair (EHS, Left PL1) describes the management of undescended testes by orchidopexy and hernia repair with a Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) approach. The practicing surgeon has to treat patients with undescended testes frequently. Endolaparoscopic techniques for management of undescended testes are now well established. The video explains the essential surgical steps of the procedure divided into several segments, each segment consisting of one step of the surgical procedure. The essential take home messages comprise the last segment. This video serves as a valuable learning resource to surgeons interested in endolaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
