Abstract

One of the most distressing complications of laparoscopic hernia repair is injury to the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh. The relation of this nerve to the laparoscopic technique of hernia repair was studied in 50 adult groins. Recommendations for avoidance of injury are delineated based on the anatomical findings.
