“…[24]. Die gleiche Studiengruppe fand im Langzeit-Follow-up (Median: 7,3 Jahre) ebenfalls keine Regredienz der inguinale Hypästhesien (12,3%) [25]. Zwar sind bei laparoskopischen Verfahren der N. ilioinguinalis und iliohypogastricus keiner hohen Verletzungsgefahr ausgesetzt, der R. femoralis des N. genitofemoralis und der N. cutaneus femoris lateralis könnten bei minimal-invasiven Verfahren in Gefahr sein [26].…”

Total extraperitoneal repair is a reliable method with low recurrence rate and high patient satisfaction. A relevant proportion of patients complain however of pain and dysesthesia persisting over years. The data from this study show that in the long term, pain incidence drops significantly while the rate of dysesthesia remains constant. Long follow-up is needed to evaluate the long-term course of persistent pain. For more precise understanding of the long-term results of herniotomy, prospective randomized studies are needed with accordingly long follow-up.

“…These low and easily reproducible recurrence rates led to the widespread acceptance of the tension-free repair as the gold standard for open anterior approaches [5]. Although a mesh can be placed both by an open approach and by laparoscopic approach and with more familiarity, advancement, and refinement in the laparoscopic techniques, recent studies have shown comparable recurrence rates with both open and laparoscopic repairs [6][7][8]. The laparoscopic technique however relies on advanced instrumentation and expertise and is more costly and has the potential for intra-abdominal complications not otherwise seen with the conventional open approach.…”

ABSTRACT:Inguinal hernia repair is now one of the most commonly performed general surgical procedures in practice. 'Tension-free repair' is the procedure of choice. [1] due to its low recurrence rate, these tension-free repair procedures can be roughly categorized into two groups: laparoscopic and open anterior approach. TEP is accepted as the most ideal method because it can avoid entry into the peritoneal cavity, which can cause intraperitoneal complication such as bowel injury or obstruction. [2] Among open tension-free methods are Lichtenstein's operation or Prolene hernia system. In this article, we examine the advantages and disadvantages of two extra peritoneal inguinal hernia repair methods, which are open lichenstein's hernioplasty and Laparoscopic Total Extra Peritoneal approaches of inguinal hernia repair. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic and conventional open hernioplasty repair in the treatment of inguinal hernia and their results were studied in terms of operation time, patient comfort, hospital stay, return to normal activity and postoperative complications. METHODS: This study was done in a post-graduate teaching hospital where 50 cases were included. Of which 25 cases were operated by laparoscopic method and other 25 cases by conventional open hernioplasty. Outcome were compared in demographics and perioperative details with postoperative data. CONCLUSION: Since evidence in the literature does not point to either the laparoscopic or open approaches the clear superior procedure, surgeon preference and circumstantial influences will probably continue to dictate the approach employed in inguinal hernia repair. For primary inguinal hernias in general, the open hernioplasty is superior to the laparoscopic technique, both in terms of recurrence rates and in terms of safety whereas in bilateral inguinal hernia, recurrent inguinal hernia and sliding hernia, laparoscopic approach can be recommended.
