Abstract :Minimally invasive surgeries have become more widespread in recently. Laparoscopy is actively used in many surgeries by general surgeons, urologiest, and gynaecologiest. Despite this widespread use of laparoscopy, its use in orthopaedic surgeries has not become widespread and as yet is only seen in literature as case reports and series. Fifty-five years old male patient admitted to orthopaedic outpatient clinic with complaints of right hip and inguinal C-shaped pain that had been ongoing for 3 months. Twelve years ago, the patient had undergone open anterior pelvic fixation (ilioinguinal incision) because of a simple type acetabular anterior wall fracture. An incisional hernia due to the previous pelvic surgery and a femoroacetabular screws was detected. There are two treatment options for this case; open implant removal followed by open hernia repair, or open implant removal than laparoscopic hernia repair in a different session. Insicional hernia treatment and femoraacetabular implant remove performed laparoscopically in the same session, and this is first case of literature. In light of this case, laparoscopy seems promising in the management of complications in orthopedic trauma surgery.
