It became routine practice within a short time [9].…”

The history of open surgery for groin hernia has gone through many stages of development, including the ancient era (ancient times to the fifteenth century), the era of the start of herniology (fifteenth to seventeenth centuries), the anatomic era (seventeenth to nineteenth centuries), the era of repair under tension (nineteenth to mid-twentieth century), and the era of tensionless repair (mid-twentieth century to the present). Five principles of modern hernia repair developed through these periods of development: antiseptic/aseptic hernia operation, high ligation of the sac, tightening of the internal ring, reconstruction of the posterior inguinal floor, and tensionless repair. Interestingly, many of the initial attempts at laparoscopic hernia repair did not adhere to the recognized principles of hernia surgery learned from open surgery. It is only when the transabdominal preperitoneal mesh repair and the totally extraperitoneal approach, which adhere to the basic principles, are considered that the results of laparoscopic hernia repair procedures can improve and the recurrence of hernia decrease.
