Abstract

The post-operation complication is one of the causes of inguinal hernias, but the main aetiology of them is still unknown. One of the hypotheses for inguinal hernias is after radical prostatectomy. Inguinal hernia is one of the most common causes of surgery. There are several techniques to repair this problem. However, nowadays there are a variety of articles to explain laparoscopic repair. This disease could be divided into direct and indirect. Indirect hernias usually have a congenital aetiology by open process vaginalis. However direct hernias are from the inguinal canal’s floor. © 2021 Urology Research Center (URC).
