Abstract

Endoscopic inguinal hernia repair has three surgical approaches from totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair to the transabdominal preperitoneal approach (TAPP) and the less common intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair (IPOM). The first two are widely utilized for the obvious advantages of lower recurrence and complication rates and better outcome when compared to the open repair while covering the entire potential hernia site in the myopectineal orifice with a large prosthesis [1, 2].
