Abstract
The problem of recurrence after laparoscopic hernia repair is relatively new, and the best way to handle it remains uncertain. The question of whether an open approach, a laparoscopic approach, or some combination of techniques should be preferred has not yet been resolved. The purpose of this study was to determine if the laparoscopic approach could deal with the problem safely and successfully.Keywords
