• Supravesical hernia is a rare cause of hernias in the groin; the authors describe its surgical treatment using a laparoscopic technique - TAPP. From 2003 to 2015, laparoscopic hernioplasty of inguinal hernia using TAPP was performed at our clinic in 1227 patients; this patient group included 12 patients with the diagnosis of supravesical hernia. Clipped polypropylene mesh was used to cover the defect in all patients. All patients were operated on with this technique. Mean duration of hospitalization was 2.7 days and mean age of the patients was 52 years. One patient experienced a relapse due to failure of fixation of the mesh. Surgical treatment of supravesical hernias using laparoscopic (TAPP) technique appears safe and reliable. supravesical hernia - TAPP.
