Conservative treatment of partial testicular artery injury during transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP).

We present a case of a 55-year old male patient who underwent TAPP procedure with proposed iatrogenic testicular artery injury resulting in a bilateral retroperitoneal hematoma. The treatment was conservative, and the patient was discharged in good general condition after 13 days. Six months postoperatively, no signs of hernia recurrence were observed. According to available literature, this is the first conservatively treated occult testicular artery injury during TAPP inguinal hernioplasty. PMID: 32644861 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
