Abstract

Extraperitoneal hernia repair has become increasingly popular for inguinal hernia repair. Incisional hernia repairs are routinely repaired through an open procedure or a transabdominal laparoscopic approach. We present a patient who presented with both inguinal hernias and an incisional hernia. Our patient underwent a totally extraperitoneal hernia repair of both his inguinal hernias and his incisional hernia.
