Background Minimal access approaches to inguinal hernia repair have added to the
ongoing debate over the “best groin hernia repair.” The present prospective randomized …

BACKGROUND: We have conducted a randomized controlled trial of totally extraperitoneal
hernia repair (TEP) versus tension-free open repair (Lichtenstein repair); we have presented …

Background Compared with open herniorrhaphy, laparoscopic herniorrhaphy can yield
more favorable clinical outcomes. However, previous studies failed to give definite answer …

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

Background: Although the laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) approach to hernia
repair has been associated with less pain and a faster postoperative recovery than …

Background Totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP)
repair are the most used laparoscopic techniques for inguinal hernia treatment. However …

Background Data are insufficient to compare transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP)
and total extraperitoneal (TEP) techniques of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. There is …

Aim: The purpose of the study was to compare the results of laparoscopic inguinal hernia
repair using two different methods: transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair and the …

Introduction Bilateral inguinal hernias form a part of the complex spectrum of weakness in
the region of the myopectineal orifice. Laparoscopic surgery is one of the standard …

Laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernias follows some principles that have already proven its
