Abstract

Introduction

Peritoneal injury during laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair is an intraoperative complication that affects accomplishment. We retrospectively examined the causes of peritoneal injury and methods of TEP repair.

Methods

This study examined 58 patients with inguinal hernia (43 unilateral, 15 bilateral) who had undergone TEP repair; all procedures were performed by the same surgeon. The incidence of peritoneal injury, clinical characteristics that could have influenced peritoneal injury, and management of the injury were analyzed.

Results

Peritoneal injury was noted in 16 inguinal hernias (21.9%, 16 /73). Injury occurred more frequently in right‐sided hernias than in left‐sided hernias (31.6% vs 11.4%, P = .049). No other factors were related to injury. Peritoneal injury occurred due to anatomical misrecognition in five hernias (31.3%, 5/16) and unintentional dissection in six hernias (37.5%, 6/16). All injuries due to unintentional dissection occurred in right‐sided hernias. The procedures used for peritoneal injury repair were endoscopic suturing for 4 hernias, pre‐tied loop ligation for 1 hernia, and ligation clips in 11 hernias. Additional techniques were required in three hernias repaired by endoscopic suturing (75% 3/4). After introduction of the ligation clips, endoscopic suturing was discontinued, and no additional techniques were needed.

Conclusion

Peritoneal injury more frequently occurred in right‐sided inguinal hernia than in left‐sided inguinal hernia during TEP repair. The common reasons for peritoneal injury were anatomical misrecognition and unintentional dissection. Repair using ligation clips is the best option for peritoneal injuries that occur during TEP repair.
