A giant pseudocyst is a rare complication after hernioplasty and is seldom seen. The pathophysiology is unclear; it characteristically does not contain epithelial lining and can be considered giant if the diameter exceeds 10 cm. Pseudocysts are mostly described after incisional hernia repairs and are usually treated with surgical resection. We report a case of a giant pseudocyst three years after totally extra peritoneal inguinal hernia repair. Laparoscopic fenestration without removing the pseudocyst with or without removal of the polypropylene mesh is a safe and effective minimal invasive approach to the treatment of a symptomatic pseudocyst and should also be considered in the approach of other large symptomatic cysts.

The inguinal hernia repair is one of the most frequent surgical procedures: in the world, even year, at least 20.000.000 inguinal hernia repair procedures are performed. Although the laparoscopic approach is widely recognized as a valid treatment for many diseases and some laparoscopic surgical procedures have become gold standard techniques (e. g. cholecystectomy, appendectomy, gastro-esophageal junction surgery), the minimally invasive approach for groin hernia treatment is still very controversial today, but in the last few years, it tends to become the standard practice for 1 day surgery. We present here the technique of laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal approach (TAPP). The surgical technique is described step-by-step, including surgical details and the new concept of “inverted Y” to achieve the “critical view of safety” for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

Background: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) after transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is a rare complication. It is generally associated to a failure of the peritoneal gap closure with intestinal loops passing through the gap. Case Presentation: We report a case of SBO secondary to titanium tack after 2 weeks of laparoscopic TAPP repair managed by laparoscopic approach, and we update some considerations about this unfortunate complication. Conclusion: SBO due to mechanical fixation devices utilized in laparoscopic TAPP repairs is infrequent. In case of closing of peritoneal gap with tacks, those with low exposition profile and absorbable should be preferred.
