Implication

Randomized trial compares TAPP and TEP techniques, showing differences in short-term outcomes for inguinal hernia repair.

Key Points

  • The study aims to compare postoperative complications, pain levels, and functional recovery between TAPP and TEP techniques for inguinal hernias.
  • Prospective randomized clinical trial conducted from November 2021 to June 2025.
  • Adult male patients with unilateral uncomplicated inguinal hernias were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to TAPP or TEP repair.
  • Primary endpoint was 30-day postoperative complications graded by the Clavien-Dindo classification.
  • TEP had significantly lower short-term postoperative complications (exact rates not provided).
  • Time to return to normal activity did not differ significantly between groups.
  • After 26 months of follow-up, the recurrence rate was 2.8% in both groups.
