In this multicenter study, no significant difference in the recurrence rate and complications between laparoscopic and open methods of hernia repair was revealed.

Stable meshes are characterized by a small degree of flexure and do not slide into the gap even when subjected to repetitive loads. Therefore, in terms of hernia recurrence, meshes with greater flexural stiffness or well-fixed lightweight meshes that adequately overlap the hernia defect can be used for laparoscopic treatment of large inguinal hernias.
