Summary

This work aims to study the outcomes of mesh fixation versus non-fixation of laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair as regards postoperative pain, recurrence, operative time, and other postoperative complications.

Conditions

  • Hernia, Inguinal

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair

Isolation of preperitoneal space will be accomplished to guarantee the mesh flattening with the medial border at the pubic symphysis, the lateral border at the psoas major and anterior superior iliac spine, superior border at least 3 cm above the conjoined tendon, medial inferior border 3 cm below the pectineal ligament, and lateral inferior border to permit perietalization of the spermatic cord (6-8 cm isolation of the hernia sac and spermatic cord). For the mesh fixation group, the mesh will be fixed to the abdominal wall using suture, spiral tacks, whereas for the non-fixation group it will be left as it is and the operation will be concluded. A mesh measuring 15x10cm is placed in the preperitoneal space and fixed using limited numbers of tacks or suture. In some cases, based on body habitus, a slightly smaller mesh could be used. The peritoneum will be closed over the mesh.
