Inguinal hernias represent a common pathology in the general surgery departments; the frequent complications of such a pathology, as well as the temporarily reduced work capacity led imagining minimum invasive procedures, sustainable and free of any additional complications as compared to the classical techniques. Among all laparoscopic techniques, TAPP - transabdominal preperitoneal seems to be more accurate, with postoperative long distance results and with minimum complications compared both to the technique itself and to the classical techniques. TAPP stands for the classic surgery principles, accomplishes the benefits of a solid remaking of the abdominal wall and the possible complications are at least similar with the ones of the classical surgery. The procedure has the advantage of being less invasive, short hospitalization, good recovery of the patient without pains in the early postoperative period and rapid socio-professional reintegration of the patient. After a thorough analysis of the specialized literature, the present article highlights the accuracy of the TAPP technique, the complications that may occur, comparing the TAPP with the other laparoscopic and classic surgery techniques.
