Abstract
Open radical retropubic prostatectomy has been reported to be difficult or impossible in patients who have previously undergone laparoscopic mesh bilateral inguinal hernia repair. We report 2 cases of successful laparoscopic transperitoneal radical prostatectomy performed in patients after prosthetic mesh inguinal herniorrhaphy. The first patient had undergone open bilateral preperitoneal inguinal hernia mesh repair 5 years previously and right laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia mesh repair 7 months previously. The second patient had undergone bilateral transabdominal preperitoneal mesh inguinal herniorrhaphy 1 year previously.
