Totally preperitoneal endoscopic inguinal hernia repair

Abstract: Totally preperitoneal endoscopic inguinal hernia repair is safe and reproducible for any type of primary or recurrent inguinal hernia, even in patients with previous subumbilical surgery or severe systemic disease. Careful follow-up is mandatory to assess the late recurrence rate.

“…(range 45-70). The mean operative time of TEP of 78.25 minutes in our study was comparable to the study by Kald et al (80 minutes) [13] and was less than the operative time of Ramshaw (89.2 min) [14] , while it was higher in our study as compared to Topal et al (42 min), Halkik et al (60 min) and Liem et al (45 minutes) [15,16,17] . Post operative pain was recorded using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scoring system.…”

“…Case series have, however, reported, low rerecurrence rates after recurrent hernia repair using laparoscopic methods. 21,22 Excellent results for recurrent hernia using the anterior tension-free repair 5 originally devised for primary hernia have recently been described. 23 The advantage of this technique in treating a recurrence after open myoaponeurotic repair is its relative safety and its familiarity to the general hernia surgeon; its drawback is dissection through scarred tissue, with risk of cord injury.…”
