Abstract
Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair is a common laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair technique performed worldwide. A rare long-term complication of TAPP is mesh-induced appendicitis, of which only four cases have been described in the literature to date. We report a case of appendicitis due to appendix entrapped in the TAPP mesh.
