| 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 totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair for bilateral inguinal hernia in female demonstrates the changes in anatomy and contents of the inguinal cannel for an optimal hernia repair. It demonstrates the handling of round ligament to create the requisite pre-peritoneal space for mesh. It explains the relationship of the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve. The video discusses the varied clinical presentation, operative findings and management of female inguinal hernia repair. This video serves as a valuable learning resource to surgeons interested in endolaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
