Background Chronic pain is reported after 10–35 per cent of inguinal hernia operations. The
aim was to compare quality of life (QoL) after total extraperitoneal (TEP) and Lichtenstein …

Background: This randomized controlled trial was designed to compare the most common
technique for open mesh repair (Lichtenstein) with the currently preferred minimally invasive …

Hypothesis Mesh repair is generally preferred for surgical correction of inguinal hernia,
although the merits of endoscopic techniques over open surgery are still debated. Herein …

Objective: To systematically review randomized controlled trials,(RCT) evidence comparing
Lichtenstein to total extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair in terms of clinical and cost …

Background Laparoscopic herniorrhaphy has emerged as a recognized operative method
for inguinal hernia repair. This study compared the short-term results of two tension-free …

Abstract Background The Lichtenstein technique is the treatment of first choice according to
guidelines for primary inguinal hernia treatment. Postoperative chronic pain has been …

Objective: The aim was to compare long-term postoperative pain after inguinal hernia
surgery using 2 techniques that have shown favorable long-term outcome in previous …

Background The short-term results of the TULIP trial comparing transinguinal preperitoneal
(TIPP) inguinal hernia repair with the Lichtenstein method have been reported with follow-up …

Background: Chronic postoperative pain is a major drawback of inguinal hernia repair. This
study compared the frequency of chronic pain after laparoscopic (totally extraperitoneal …

Background Preliminary experience has suggested that preperitoneal mesh positioning
causes less chronic pain than Lichtenstein's technique for inguinal hernia repair. Therefore …
