Summary

Background: Mesh fixation is a critical step in laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repair because fixation is a significant step to prevent the hazard of mesh migration, but is supposed to be associated with a higher risk of acute and chronic pain compared with non-fixation. Fixation is more expensive than non-fixation.

Objective: To compare the efficiency of mesh fixation in laparoscopic TAPP surgical repair of inguinal hernia using sutured repair versus tacker use.

Patients and Methods: This prospective randomized comparative study was carried out on 60 patients who presented with a unilateral inguinal hernia and were assigned to laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups (30 patients each); in group A, the mesh was fixed with a Titanium tacker, and in group B, the mesh was sutured and fixed with polypropylene 0.
