Abstract
Open preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair has many advantages and provided the initial foundation for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. This approach can be advantageous for large, complicated, and recurrent inguinal hernias. This chapter provides a step-by-step pictorial, with key aspects of the surgical technique required to perform an open preperitoneal, or Stoppa, repair for inguinal hernias.
No disease from the human body, belonging to the domain from the surgeon, demands in its treatment, a better mixture of precise, anatomical knowledge along with surgical skill compared to hernia in most its variations. – Sir Astley Paston Cooper (1804)
