Single-incision laparoscopic trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal mesh hernia repair: a feasible approach

Abstract

This novel surgical technique is feasible and improves cosmetic outcome without additional risk. The advantage of such an approach above and beyond cosmesis remains to be evaluated.

Single-incision laparoscopic TAPP mesh hernioplasty using conventional instruments: an evolving technique

“…Rahman et al [13] reported the first case of SIL hernia (TAPP) repair. They used roticulating dissecting instruments and reported loss of tactile feedback using the instruments as compared to non-roticulating instruments.…”

Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax using a single-incision laparoscopic surgery port: a feasible and safe procedure

“…In 2010, Rahman and John [12] reported the first case of SILS hernia repair via the transabdominal preperitoneal approach (TAPP), improving cosmetic outcome with no additional risk.…”

Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair using needlescopic instruments: a 15-year, single-center experience in 317 patients

“…In recent years, the pursuit of minimally invasive surgery has given rise to the concept of natural orifice transluminal surgery (NOTES) and SILS. SILS for inguinal hernia repair has already been reported [8,9], but it has many problems in becoming a standard operation. The major problems of SILS are the clashing of instruments and the lack of triangular formation.…”
