Abstract

DAES, Jorge. Laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia: a totally extraperitoneal technique with expanded visual surgical field. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.2, pp.89-92. ISSN 2011-7582.

This article describes de progressive global acceptance of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and describes a totally extraperitoneal technique that we have labelled E-ETP because it provides an enhanced or expanded visual surgical field in comparison with the traditional TEP approach. The technique is particularly useful in the obese patients and in patients with large hernias.

Keywords : hernia; inguinal; laparoscopy; prostheses and implants; TEP; TAPP; IPON.
