Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status of laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy (LIH).
  • To compare LIH with conventional open hernia repair methods.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy.
  • Analysis of comparative data between laparoscopic and conventional inguinal hernia repair.
