Abstract

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has gained prominence as a minimally invasive approach to address inguinal hernias. Two primary techniques, transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair, have been established as effective methods. This bibliographic review aims to provide an in-depth analysis of these techniques, comparing their surgical approaches, complications, and outcomes. The importance of selecting the most suitable approach for a given patient is underscored. The review explores the epidemiology of inguinal hernias, emphasizing the need for optimal repair methods. The discussion section critically evaluates the two techniques, highlighting their respective advantages and drawbacks. Ultimately, the conclusion emphasizes the importance of individualized treatment decisions based on patient characteristics and surgical expertise.
