Do we have to rethink slit-mesh technique in endoscopic inguinal hernia repair? – A matched pair analysis

The use of a slit mesh versus a non-slit mesh in laparo-endoscopic inguinal hernia repair is associated with a significantly lower recurrence rate. There is no relation with any other outcome criteria. Since the use of a slit mesh in laparo-endoscopic inguinal hernia repair seems to influence the outcome, this topic should be further investigated.

Abstract

The use of a slit mesh versus a non-slit mesh in laparo-endoscopic inguinal hernia repair is associated with a significantly lower recurrence rate. There is no relation with any other outcome criteria. Since the use of a slit mesh in laparo-endoscopic inguinal hernia repair seems to influence the outcome, this topic should be further investigated.
