- Abstract
The total extraperitoneal (TEP) laparoscopic repair of a groin hernia is increasingly being used because of less pain, rapid recovery, and low recurrence rate, but different variants of surgical approaches for TEP are reported by a number of centers and the merits and demerits associated with each approach are not well described. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernioplasty (TEP) with 4 different variants of surgical approach.
