Inguinal abscess following Trans-abdominal Preperitoneal Mesh repair for inguinal hernia
Introduction: Laparoscopic hernia surgery is performed by almost every general and laparoscopic surgeon worldwide, Trans-abdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) and Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) being the most frequently performed. Seroma formation leading to deep seated mesh infection with abscess is rare...
