Endolaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is the preferred modality of repair today. Most inguinal and pelvic hernias are suitable for repair with minimal access techniques. These include hernias encountered in a wide variety of clinical settings such as sliding hernias, irreducible hernias, obstructed hernias, femoral and obturator hernias. The teaching videos under this series of videos on endolaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair demonstrate the surgical approach and operative steps for hernia repair in diverse clinical scenarios.

This video on posterior inguinal anatomy for endolaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair demonstrates relevance and importance of the applied surgical anatomy that a surgeon needs to be familiar with before embarking on endolaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TEP, TAPP). The video comprises multiple segments, step wise as various landmarks are encountered during medial to lateral dissection of the preperitoneal space. The essential take home messages comprise the last segment.

This video serves as a valuable learning resource to surgeons interested in endolaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

The preperitoneal posterior anatomy of the inguinal region is very different as compared to the anterior anatomy that we have learned before. The two important reasons for this anatomy to be different is, number one, we are in the preperitoneal space below the arcuate line. So the posterior boundary of this space is formed only by the peritoneum. Number two, we are looking at the inguinal region from the umbilicus. So this completely changes the perspective of how the inguinal region appears when we see it endoscopically in the preperitoneal region.
