Long-term outcome and chronic pain in atraumatic fibrin glue versus staple fixation of extra light titanized meshes in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TAPP): a single-center experience
2019
Background
Inguinal hernia repair belongs to the most frequently performed surgical procedures. Endoscopic techniques like TAPP and TEP have become standard of care together with the conventional open techniques. Especially in endoscopic techniques, there is a confusing amount of different meshes and fixation techniques with impact on perioperative and long-term outcome. We present the first single-center data on the use of titanized extra lightweight meshes and fibrin glue fixation compared to staple fixation regarding long-term outcome, especially chronic pain.
