- Abstract
A 77‐year‐old man visited our hospital due to bilateral painful inguinal swellings. He had a history of femoral‐femoral artery bypass surgery for peripheral artery disease and took ethyl icosapentate. Additionally, he had a previous history of open left colectomy for descending colon cancer and had a median incision reaching the lower abdomen. With a diagnosis of bilateral direct inguinal hernias after femoral‐femoral artery bypass surgery, he underwent single‐incision laparoscopic surgery for totally extraperitoneal repair, continuing on ethyl icosapentate. During surgery, the preperitoneal space was safely and easily dissected, avoiding a subcutaneous vascular graft. No perioperative complications or hernia recurrence have been observed at 3 months follow‐up.
