Which method for the laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia?; TAPP versus TEP

Aim: The aim of this study is to prove that the total extraperitoneal patch plasty (TEP) method can be accepted as a standard methodin elective and appropriate cases.Materials and Methods: Six hundred sixty-five (665/678) patients with an uncomplicated primary inguinal hernia who consentedto participate in the study were randomized into two groups: Group I transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty (TAPP) repair andGroup II TEP repair. Perioperative and postoperative complications and recurrence were detected with the help of radiology unit ofour hospital and recorded. The patients were followed up for 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 weeks.Results: The difference between the number of Tackers and return to work was significant (p
