Abstract
Laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy with or without application of mesh does not correct the basic problem. Unless the dense fascial and bony margins of the posterior inguinal canal wall are palpated under direct vision for suture of the mesh, fortification is not possible and recurrence is invited. The many neural structures cannot be seen with the laparoscope, and their stapling is a prominent hazard. The procedure should not be accepted or approved.
