Core Tip	Three-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction offers significant advantages in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair by enabling accurate preoperative measurement of the myopectineal orifice. This allows surgeons to select mesh sizes tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy, thereby reducing the risk of recurrence, minimizing complications such as chronic pain, and improving surgical outcomes. Recent studies support the routine use of preoperative three-dimensional imaging and highlight its role in advancing personalized hernia surgery, marking a shift away from the traditional one-size-fits-all approach.
