Single incision laparoscopic surgery transabdominal pre-peritoneal hernia repair - case report.

Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) minimizes perioperative trauma and allows surgical procedures without a visible scar. Here we present a case in which the transabdominal pre-peritoneal method was used in inguinal hernioplasty using a SILS port. The presented case is part of a new trend in surgery to minimize operative trauma. In 2009, when the operation was conducted, it was an innovative procedure.
