Laparoscopic Extraperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair Using a Novel Mesh with Self-Fixating Properties ()
Abstract
Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair is a well-accepted
technique for inguinal hernia repair. Different types of mesh
and fixation methods have been described. Recently, a novel, self-fixating mesh
has been introduced and used successfully in open inguinal hernia repairs. We
report the first initial experience using this mesh for TEP repairs.
