Abstract:
Totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repair is the endoscopic equivalent of the open preperitoneal prosthetic approach. Results from a randomized trial confirm that it is less painful, associated with a more rapid return to normal activity, and associated with an insignificant increase in recurrence rates when compared with open tension-free hernia repair.
