A Retrospective Analysis of Laparoscopic Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) and Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Techniques in the Treatment of Unilateral Inguinal Hernias
Both TAPP and TEP are effective for unilateral inguinal hernia repair; however, TAPP demonstrated shorter operative times, and fewer complications compared to TEP. Case volume significantly influences operative duration, particularly in TEP repairs. Further studies with larger cohorts are warranted to refine surgical approaches and outcomes.
