    Hello, is it possible to identify the type of hernia seen here from a laparoscopic view?

    The attached image was taken during an app, and I have yet to speak with my surgeon about it. Thanks!

    Male, inguinal pain/ discomfort on same side

    Identifying hernia type from laparoscopic view?

    That’s a question that needs to be answered based on each patient’s specific needs and risk factors. Rely on your surgeon to make the right recommendations for you.

    Wow thanks!

    Is any repair type appropriate for a pantaloon hernia with pain in area?

    That’s what we call a pantaloon inguinal hernia
