To report the first known and documented laparoscopic hernia repair onboard an aircraft carrier (USS Abraham Lincoln).
We present a case report of a 23-year-old healthy male seen in our Medical Department in pain with a clear mass on the right groin area. The sailor was scheduled for elective repair using a single-chip, 0 degree laparoscope from Stryker Company.
Laparoscopic hernia repair was performed with complete recovery and immediate return to his usual duties onboard the aircraft carrier.
Laparoscopy is not a new concept in surgery, but the performance of this surgical modality onboard a nuclear warship is a landmark event that will maximize naval operational readiness.
报告在航空母舰（美国亚伯拉罕·林肯号）上进行的首例有记录的腹腔镜疝修补术。
我们报告一例病例，一名23岁健康男性因右腹股沟区明显肿块伴疼痛前来我院就诊。该水手计划使用史赛克公司的单芯片0度腹腔镜进行择期修补。
成功进行了腹腔镜疝修补术，患者完全康复并立即返回航空母舰继续履行日常职责。
腹腔镜检查在外科手术中并非新概念，但在核动力军舰上开展这种手术方式是一个具有里程碑意义的事件，将使海军作战准备达到最佳状态。
