The laparo-endoscopic approaches such as TAPP have gained increasing acceptance among specialists and many consider them as standard of care due to perioperative safety and excellent postoperative results. Knowledge of specific complications after minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery, however, is important for the successful management of these patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We herein present the case of a 75-year-old female patient who electively underwent laparoscopic repair of combined inguinal and femoral hernia. During the postoperative course a small bowel obstruction occurred requiring emergency re-laparoscopy revealing a preperitoneal herniation of small bowel through a peritoneal defect.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Small bowel obstruction due to preperitoneal herniation of small bowel through a peritoneal defect after laparoscopic hernia repair is extremely rare. In such cases, emergency laparoscopic revision is necessary to avoid bowel ischaemia. Adequate closure of the peritoneum during the primary procedure along with the necessary attention to detail seems mandatory to avoid preperitoneal herniation after TAPP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Inadequate peritoneal closure after TAPP may lead to preperitoneal herniation of the small bowel leading to postoperative intestinal obstruction. All hernia surgeons should be aware of this rare, but potentially life-threatening complication and should close all peritoneal defects with greatest care and accuracy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2021.106532","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,19]],"date-time":"2021-10-19T09:39:26Z","timestamp":1634636366000},"page":"106532","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Mind the gap \u2013 Small bowel obstruction due to preperitoneal herniation following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair \u2013 A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"Andreas","family":"Thalheimer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rene","family":"Vonlanthen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Silviya","family":"Ivanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christoforos","family":"Stoupis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Bueter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-61-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"145","DOI":"10.1159\/000487278","article-title":"Current concepts of inguinal hernia repair","volume":"34","author":"Kockerling","year":"2018","journal-title":"Visc.
