Recent literature on laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) has shown that laparoscopic hernioplasty is associated with reduced postoperative pain and wound infection, and an earlier return to normal daily activities. The technique of LIHR is still evolving. We descibe our technique and experience in performing laparoscopic hernioplasty using a contoured three‐dimensional mesh without the application of endoscopic staples.
