Introduction: Supravesical hernia is a rare cause of hernias in the groin; the authors describe its surgical treatment using a laparoscopic technique – TAPP.
Method: From 2003 to 2015, laparoscopic hernioplasty of inguinal hernia using TAPP was performed at our clinic in 1227 patients; this patient group included 12 patients with the diagnosis of supravesical hernia. Clipped polypropylene mesh was used to cover the defect in all patients.
Results: All patients were operated on with this technique. Mean duration of hospitalization was 2.7 days and mean age of the patients was 52 years. One patient experienced a relapse due to failure of fixation of the mesh.
Conclusion: Surgical treatment of supravesical hernias using laparoscopic (TAPP) technique appears safe and reliable.
