view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach for irreducible inguinoscrotal and giant inguinal …

Background: Totally extra-peritoneal (TEP) repair of inguinal hernia is now a standard
surgical technique. A 12 mm incision in infra-umbilical region for Hasson trocar is must for …

Background The total extraperitoneal (TEP) technique is known for its complexity compared

The advantages of enhanced view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) over TEP approach are
well established in large inguinoscrotal, recurrent inguinal, patients with short pubis to …

Background Transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) and total extraperitoneal repair
(TEP) are the two major types of laparoscopic repair for inguinal hernia. Although TAPP is …

Methods: Two hundred twenty patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups of
eTEP (80), TEP (68), and TAPP (72) after matching for age, sex, and clinical extent of hernia …

Background: Total extraperitoneal (TEP) laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is preferred to
the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair since it preserves peritoneal integrity …

Background: Inguinal hernia repair has been a controversial area in surgical practice. Its
complexity is reflected by the fact that numerous different procedures including both open …
