Endoscopic extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy (EEPH) offers a safe and efficient method for groin hernia repair. This technique demonstrates low recurrence and complication rates, benefiting patients and reducing hospital costs.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Groin hernias are common surgical conditions.
  • Traditional open repair methods have limitations.
  • Endoscopic techniques offer potential advantages.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy (EEPH).
  • To assess recurrence and complication rates of EEPH.
  • To analyze the learning curve and cost-effectiveness of EEPH.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 326 EEPH procedures in 249 patients over 32 months.
  • Inclusion of primary, recurrent, and contralateral groin hernias.
  • Documentation of surgical outcomes, including recurrence and complications.

Main Results:

  • A total of 326 groin hernias were repaired using EEPH.
  • The recurrence rate was 1.6%, and the overall complication rate was 5.2%.
  • Modifications improved technique efficiency and patient outcomes after the learning curve.

Conclusions:

  • EEPH is a safe and efficient surgical option for groin hernia repair.
  • The procedure demonstrates favorable recurrence and complication rates.
  • EEPH offers decreasing costs and increasing patient advantages with technique refinement.
