Abstract

A choice of minimally invasive approach to the inguinal hernia repair still remains controversial. The two most common techniques, transabdominal preperitoneal plasty (TAPP) and the totally extraperitoneal (TEP) plasty, in which a mesh is placed in the preperitoneal space to cover the entire myopectineal orifice, do no differ significantly in recurrence rate but show certain differences regarding the operation time, learning curve, rate of intra- and postsurgical complications, and costs. A comparison of mentioned techniques allows to choose an appropriate tactic considering the individual features of each patient.
