HAZBON, Héctor René e LOPEZ-ATEHORTUA, David Felipe. Experience and results of laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2017, vol.65, n.3, pp.429-432. ISSN 0120-0011. https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v65n3.56429.
Introduction:
Due to the invention of minimally invasive surgery, inguinal hernia repair by laparoscopy has become a common procedure. This paper presents the results of 92 inguinal hernia repairs by laparoscopy performed using the transabdominal pre-peritoneal technique (TAPP) between August 2001 and January 2014.
Objective:
To present our results regarding recurrence rate, postoperative pain and need for conversion.
Materials and methods:
The results of the procedure using TAPP were retrospectively analyzed based on an average follow-up time of 8 years.
Results:
Three (3.2%) cases required conversion, three (3.2%) were recurrent and six (6.4%) presented chronic pain.
Conclusion:
Laparoscopic hernia repair by TAPP is a safe procedure. Effectiveness and complication rates have shown to be similar to open and TEP techniques.
