Summary Background Data Laparoscopic hernioplasty is associated with a short
rehabilitation, but it is a technically difficult procedure. It is unclear if it has advantages over …

Background. This study was designed to compare an open tension-free technique
(Lichtenstein repair) with a laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP). Methods …

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 …

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 …

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

Objectives: To compare a laparoscopic (totally extraperitoneal patch (TEP)) and an open
technique (Lichtenstein) for inguinal hernia repair regarding recurrence rate and possible …

Background: Although tension-free techniques of hernia repair using synthetic meshes
revealed encouraging results, the best method of inguinal hernia repair is still unclear …

Objective: To compare the effects of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) and
Lichtenstein tension-free inguinal hernia repair and to explore the safety and feasibility of …

Objective: To review the recent surgical advances in the treatment of inguinal hernias.
Summary Background Data: Traditional tissue-based techniques (eg, Bassini, McVay …

Background: Whereas open anterior inguinal herniorrhaphy is a time-tested, safe, and well-
understood operation with a high success rate, laparoscopic techniques of inguinal hernia …
