Laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair of fallopian tube indirect inguinal hernia in reproductive aged woman: a case report

Abstract

An indirect inguinal hernia containing the fallopian tube alone is extremely rare in reproductive-aged women without any genital tract anomalies. Despite this rarity, early diagnosis and adequate management is important to prevent strangulation and recurrence. We present a case of an indirect inguinal hernia containing only the fallopian tube in the hernia sac, which was successfully reduced by using a laparoscopic total extraperitoneal approach and repaired with a polypropylene mesh.

Inguinal hernia with ovary as content- laparoscopic repair in a Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome patient: case report

“…Laparoscopic approach to such surgery has also been documented in literature before (both TAPP and TEP). 14,15 In conclusion, we reported a case of inguinal hernia of left ovary and fallopian tube in a teenage girl with MRKH syndrome. A laparoscopic approach with using TEP mesh repair was successful, with good cosmetic outcomes and less pain after surgery.…”
