Totally Extra Peritoneal Inguinal hernia repair

Abstract

In recent years operative laparoscopy in general surgery has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional open techniques. Cholecystectomy, appendicectomy and hernia repair are now routinely performed laparoscopically, with the advantages of less postoperative pain and reduced hospitalization and recuperation periods [1]. Correction of inguinal hernias is one of the most common surgical procedures [2].
