1. Preperitoneal repair of bilateral inguinal hernia using Stoppa technique (giant prosthetic repair of visceral sac). The synthetic mesh is placed between the myopectineal orifice and the peritoneal sac, and envelops the sac, which holds it in place with the patient in the upright position. Extension of the mesh into the retropubic space and into the iliac fossa bilaterally is also a crucial component of repair of a lower abdominal incisional hernia.
