Inguinal hernias are amongst the most common conditions requiring general surgical intervention. For decades, the preferred approach was the open repair. As laparoscopy became more popular and available and more surgeons became familiarized with this modality, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair became an alternative. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of laparoscopic inguinal repair, with a focus on bilateral inguinal hernias. Initial reports have shown promising clinical outcomes compared to those of conventional repair of bilateral hernias. However, there are only a few studies concerning laparoscopic repair of bilateral hernias. It is yet to be proven that laparoscopy is the "gold standard" in the treatment of bilateral inguinal hernias. So far, the choice of an inguinal hernia repair technique has been up to each surgeon, depending on their expertise and available resources after taking into consideration each patient's needs.
腹股沟疝是最常见的需要普通外科干预的病症之一。几十年来，首选的方法是开放修补术。随着腹腔镜技术越来越普及且更多外科医生熟悉这种方式，腹腔镜腹股沟疝修补术成为了一种替代方法。本研究的目的是评估腹腔镜腹股沟修补术的有效性，重点关注双侧腹股沟疝。初步报告显示，与传统的双侧疝修补术相比，其临床结果很有前景。然而，关于腹腔镜双侧疝修补术的研究较少。腹腔镜是否为双侧腹股沟疝治疗的“金标准”仍有待证实。到目前为止，腹股沟疝修补技术的选择一直取决于每位外科医生，这取决于他们的专业知识以及在考虑每位患者需求后可利用的资源。
