A retrospective comparative study of the enhanced view-totally extraperitoneal technique versus the traditional totally extraperitoneal technique in managing recurrent inguinal hernias
The eTEP technique demonstrated results similar to TEP, particularly regarding recurrence, operation time, and postoperative outcomes. Like TEP, eTEP is a safe and viable option for recurrent inguinal hernias. Furthermore, prospective randomized studies comparing these two techniques are necessary for recurrent inguinal hernias.
