An Exploratory Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Ultrasonic Dissection and Monopolar Electrocautery in Single-Incision Laparoscopic Totally Extraperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair
In this exploratory analysis, monopolar electrocautery in SILS-TEP showed comparable surgical outcomes to ultrasonic dissection. Larger confirmatory studies are warranted to validate these findings. (UMIN000057091).
