We present a material of 103 patients with a total of 105 recurrent inguinal hernias operated by transabdominal laparoscopic repair. Nine patients developed seromas. One was reoperated due to ileus and one had the mesh removed because of persistent pain in the groin. Following a median observation of 12 months (range 4-48 months) 102 patients were examined and two new recurrences were detected corresponding to 1.9% (95% confidence limits 0.2-6.7%).
