Introduction: inguinal hernias are the most common in the population. The surgical indication is primarily related to the patient's quality of life. Per year, surgeries to correct aponeurosis failure, called hernioplasties, are responsible for about 1.5% of procedures performed worldwide. Objectives: this study aims to analyze the clinical outcome and the profile of patients undergoing videolaparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty through the study of electronic medical records, assessing age, gender, comorbidities, surgical technique, length of hospital stay and complications. Methodology: this retrospective observational study that used electronic medical records of patients who underwent videolaparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty between December 2020 and December 2022 at Hospital e Maternidade José Martiniano de Alencar. Results: Most of the patients in the study were male and aged between 46 and 60 years. Of the total number of patients studied, only 14 claimed to have comorbidities and 36 patients denied previous inguinal hernioplasty procedures. The maximum length of hospital stay for patients since admission was 7 days. Only 11 male patients had complications related to the procedure. Discussion: the appearance of inguinal hernias is related to the anatomy that involves Fruchaud's myopectineal space. Hernias can be classified according to the orifice in which they are formed and depending on the location and occurrence or not of recurrence, hernias are classified according to Nyhus. The surgical techniques used can be divided into open/conventional and laparoscopic, with specific indications and different incidence of complications. Conclusion: the videolaparoscopic approach, despite its positive points, has limitations mainly due to the ability of surgeons to perform it, the availability of videolaparoscopic equipment and cost.
