“…In this study, it has been found that there is no significant difference between TEP and TAPP surgical procedures, considering postoperative bleeding. Consistent with our study, Jaiswal et al 17 have reported that although postoperative hematoma incidence is higher in TAPP group than that in TEP group, this difference is not statistically significant.…”

“…After the laparoscopic repair of an inguinal hernia, scrotal edema or hematoma are common complications. 5,17 In this study, the rate of incidence of edema was 7.4% inTEP group and 2.9% in the TAPP group. Similarly, in the study carried out by Jaiswal and his friends, it was reported that scrotal edema was encountered by 8.9% of patients in the TAPP group and 8.9% of those in TEP group.…”

“…Similarly, in the study carried out by Jaiswal and his friends, it was reported that scrotal edema was encountered by 8.9% of patients in the TAPP group and 8.9% of those in TEP group. 17 On the other hand, the incidence of scrotal edema in TAPP group was reported to be 34% and in TEP group as 9.4%. 11 However, scrotal edema incidence was found to be as high as 33.3% amongst patients treated with bilateral TEP.…”

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare TAPP and TEP techniques, which are laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair techniques. In this study, it was tried to determine whether one technique has an advantage over the other in terms of surgery, hospitalization and recovery times, recurrence, postoperative bleeding and testicular edema. Methods: Totally 62 patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair between January 2015 and January 2020 were included in this retrospective study. Results: Among the patients who underwent TAPP and TEP operations; it was determined that there was no significant difference in terms of operation time, recovery time, hospital stay, recurrence and complications (p>0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, TEP and TAPP are equally effective and safe as laparoscopic hernia repair surgery. The choice of which approach to perform can be made according to the skill and preference of the surgeon.
