Need Help with Hernia Repair - Tiny


Posted: Dec 12, 2011

The preperitoneum was taken down. The hernia was indeed medial to the epigastric vessels. The preperitoneal fat was further reduced. The hernia sac was completely reduced out of that area. A space was then created in the preperitoneum. A 4 x 6 inch Composix mesh was then introduced, secured to the ileopubic tract laterally and then also medially. The peritoneum was then closed over this with additional absorbable tacks. He tolerated this quite well.

I'm not finding "preperitoneum" anywhere? Does he mean perperitoneal fat? Peritoneum? Or is this a word that is used, but not able to be referenced?

Thanks for any help!

transcribe what is dictated - hmmm

You cannot second guess his meaning in this instance. He could mean the muscle or the fat just prior to (pre-) the peritoneum. I also believe iliopubic is spelled with an i.
