Comparative evaluation of enhanced total extraperitoneal repair and intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair-plus for ventral hernias: A randomised controlled study
eTEP offers reduced early post-operative pain and lower analgesic use compared to IPOM+, with similar complication and recurrence rates. Despite longer operative times, eTEP provides a viable alternative for ventral hernia repair with potential quality-of-life benefits.
