Comparative Study Between Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Repair and Totally Extraperitoneal Repair (TEP) for Primary Inguinal Hernia: A Prospective Comparative Study
Abstract: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has become the preferred minimally invasive approach for adult inguinal hernias because of reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, earlier return to work, and improved cosmetic outcomes. The two most widely practiced laparoscopic techniques are Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) repair and Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) repair. Although both techniques involve mesh placement in the preperitoneal space, they differ in operative approach, technical complexity, and perioperative outcomes.
