First Evaluation of the TREPP Procedure for Inguinoscrotal Hernia Repair: A Step-Up Study
The TREPP procedure in experienced hands appears to be a feasible and safe alternative for scrotal hernia repair, demonstrating low complication rates requiring reintervention and no recurrences in this cohort. Despite the study's retrospective design and small sample size, this first results step-up study support further investigation into the role of TREPP repair in inguinoscrotal hernia management. Larger, prospective studies are needed to confirm its long-term efficacy.
