Slit mesh technique in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: a retrospective analysis
Although the SM technique was designed to improve outcomes, our findings show no it has no notable advantage over the NSM technique in reducing recurrence or postoperative pain. Moreover, the prolonged operation time associated with the SM method may represent a clinical drawback. Further research with larger cohorts and longer follow-up is needed to better clarify the potential risks and benefits of SM apporoach.
