Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is nowadays being performed worldwide, and inguinal hernia (IH) continues to be a common complication of radical prostatectomy. Laparoscopic repair of IH is often difficult via internal dissection because of adhesion of the preperitoneal cavity. This study aimed to categorize the intraoperative condition of, and devise a strategy for, IH after RARP.
