Application of laparoscopic techniques has revolutionized the field of surgery. General surgeons have accepted laparoscopic surgery unequivocally. Few would dispute the tremendous success and the impact that laparoscopic cholecystectomy had on the management of gallstone.1 Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) was introduced following the success of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on the premise that there would be less post-operative discomfort and pain, repair of recurrent hernias would be easier and bilateral hernia can be treated concurrently with improved cosmesis. Ger and Associates2 reported first laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Schultz et al3 were the first to report the use of prosthetic material during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
