Extra Corporeal Knotting Approach Technique for Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: A Simple and Cost-Effective Method for Mesh and Structure Fixation
The ECKA technique provides a reproducible, minimally invasive solution for fixing mesh in direct, indirect, and combined hernias via either TEP or TAPP approaches. Its extracorporeal knotting system streamlines mesh fixation, ensures consistent clinical outcomes, and enhances operative efficiency across various hernia configurations.
