Abstract
We present a case of prosthetic mesh hernia repair of a unilateral inguinal hernia following laparoscopic extraperitoneal pelvic lymph node dissection and radical prostatectomy. After an uneventful intraoperative and early postoperative period, the patient developed a lymphocele. This resulted in the detachment of the mesh from the abdominal wall, which necessitated its removal.
