Case description

This Video Demonstrate Transabdominal Preperitonial Hernia Surgery. Extreme care must be exercised in placing the mesh fixation tacks. This point cannot be overstated. A nerve injury caused by an errant tack can be truly debilitating to the patient and very challenging to treat. Tacks should be placed only above the iliopubic tract. Proper placement may be ensured by drawing a line from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) at the start of the procedure. Before firing each tack, carefully palpate the tacker head through the abdominal wall to ensure that it is above this line.
