Secondary totally extraperitoneal approach (TEP) repair is a viable option for recurrent inguinal hernias. This study shows that secondary TEP has a low complication rate, similar to primary TEP, despite anatomical challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical procedures
  • Hernia repair
  • Minimally invasive surgery

Background:

  • Totally extraperitoneal approach (TEP) is a leading method for inguinal hernia treatment.
  • Recurrence can occur after TEP, necessitating further intervention.
  • Secondary TEP, open repair, and transabdominal preperitoneal procedure (TAPP) are management options for recurrent hernias.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the experience and outcomes of secondary TEP for recurrent inguinal hernias.
  • To compare the feasibility and safety of secondary TEP with other repair methods.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1,526 TEP procedures performed between September 1991 and September 2005.
  • Focus on 21 cases of secondary TEP following a previous TEP.

  • Documentation of conversions to open Lichtenstein repair and reasons for conversion.

    • Main Results:

    • Out of 1,526 TEPs, 21 were secondary TEPs.
    • Three cases required conversion to open Lichtenstein repair due to inability to create adequate space.
    • One conversion for peritoneal tears and one for bleeding.
    • No complications, injuries, transfusions, hematomas, or fatalities were reported.
    • All patients were discharged on the same day.

    Conclusions:

    • Secondary TEP is a safe and effective option for recurrent inguinal hernias.
    • While challenging due to altered anatomy, secondary TEP offers good outcomes.
    • TEP, especially secondary TEP, has a steep learning curve for surgeons, requiring simultaneous learning of anatomy and procedure.
