Here is a video with both animation and two case demonstrations exhibiting the technique for laparoscopic high ligation of an indirect inguinal hernia in a male. We utilize this technique from infancy to adulthood. I propose that this technique may be an alternative to a mesh repair in an adult with a small indirect inguinal hernia. This technique has almost no post-operative pain, almost no visible scars, low risk to the cord structures, and preliminary data shows a recurrence rate between 1- 3%. This may be ideal for young patients who do not want mesh.
