Complex Case: Laparoscopic Scrotal Hernia Repair
When an inguinal hernia is neglected, it can descend into the scrotum, adhering to the spermatic cord structures. In this video, Dr. Todd Harris demonstrates the delicate laparoscopic dissection required to retrieve these ‘scrotal hernias.’ You will see exactly how we identify and protect the vas deferens and testicular vessels while reducing the hernia sac. Dr. Harris also points out the ‘Triangle of Pain’—the area containing the lateral femoral cutaneous and genitofemoral nerves—to show how we place mesh fixation tacks safely to avoid chronic post-operative pain.
