Smaller individual series on the outcome of laparoscopic hernioplasty techniques have
been reported. This study reports on the complications of 3,229 laparoscopic hernia repairs …

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and causes of serious
complications after laparoscopic hernioplasty. Complications observed after laparoscopic …

Background: To determine if there are common factors beyond the learning curve that lead
to recurrence after laparoscopic hernioplasty, we analyzed failures seen in seven centers …

The incidence and reasons for early recurrences following laparoscopic hernioplasty have
not been studied. Because the incidence is small and the follow up is short, a multi …

Background: To understand how laparoscopic hernioplasty prevents early recurrence of
hernia, we reviewed our first 1,000 patients. We analyzed the patients by age, sex, and …

ABSTRACT The Toy-Smoot laparoscopic hernioplasty has been performed on 75 patients
with a total of 83 hernioplasties over the past 20 months. Sixty-nine patients were male and …

This study compares the results of two laparoscopic hernioplasties: the transabdominal
preperitoneal (TAPP) and the totally extraperitoneal (TEP). Over a 43-month period 1,115 …

Background: Laparoscopic hernia repair has been proved superior to open repairs in terms
of short-term results, but long-term results of laparoscopic and open mesh repairs have been …

The results of our randomized trial of 176 patients comprising primary hernias [Shouldice
versus transabdominal preperitoneal approach (TAPP)] showed only slight advantages for …

Improvements in laparoscopic techniques and equipment have engendered many new
intraabdominal procedures. Laparoscopic hernioplasty was used in 11 patients with 12 …
