Settings and conduct
-
This was a study on the patients candidated for inguinal hernia repair surgery by laparoscopic method in Isfahan Alzahra Hospital. Samples were 86 patients with inguinal hernia that undergone inguinal hernia repair using mesh by laparoscopic transabdominal prepritonal repair technique.
