Laparoscopy as a Facilitator in the Early Diagnosis of a Mullerian Aplasia During Ordinary Surgery

Abstract

Laparoscopy was introduced more than 100 years ago. However, in some fields its use still meets resistance. Technology such as laparoscopy may help to identify rare and complex disorders, even in very ordinary procedures, such as inguinal hernia repair. This report highlighted the importance of early diagnosis of a complex condition using commonly available technology. To the best of our knowledge, there has not been a similar reported case in such a young patient during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

Keywords: Mullerian aplasia; inguinal hernia; laparoscopy.
