To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of inguinal and Laugier's hernia treated with laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair. Surgeons should be mindful that inguinal hernias can occur concurrently with other types of hernias, such as femoral hernias, including atypical variants like Laugier's hernia. Additionally, they should actively consider laparoscopic approaches such as transabdominal preperitoneal for femoral hernias. These approaches are beneficial for precise diagnosis, confirming the presence of other hernias, and simultaneously treating all coexisting inguinal hernias.
