Summary

This study is comperative study between TAPP And Lichtenstein Techniques for Inguinal Hernia surgery.The Lichtenstein tension-free open hernioplasty involves placing a tailored polypropylene mesh over the inguinal canal defect, secured to ligament and oblique fascia under local/regional anesthesia.Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repair uses laparoscopic access via three ports (umbilicus and bilateral midclavicular lines), incises and closes a peritoneal flap, and places a large mesh in the preperitoneal space. Compression between these two procedure in terms of intraoperative ,postoperative complications and Long term follow up for recurrence of Hernia.

Detailed description

Comperative study between TAPP And Lichtenstein Techniques for Inguinal Hernia surgery. Worldwide, inguinal hernia repair is one of the commonest surgeries. The best treatment option to primary hernia has been investigated, but there still remains lack of evidence about the ideal approach. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the outcomes of inguinal hernia repair using Trans abdominal Pre peritoneal procedure(TAPP) \& Lichtenstein techniques. Primary outcomes are Operative time , Surgical site infection , Seroma , post operative ileus , bowel injury ,mesh infection , recurrence and quality of life .

Conditions

• Hernia Inguinal

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Lichtenstein Tension-Free Mesh Hernioplasty	Open surgical repair of inguinal hernia using a tension-free mesh technique. A standard polypropylene mesh is placed over the posterior wall of the inguinal canal and fixed with non-absorbable sutures under spinal or local anesthesia. This is a conventional method widely used in open hernia surgery.
PROCEDURE	Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Repair	Laparoscopic approach to inguinal hernia repair performed under general anesthesia. Three ports are used to access the abdominal cavity, and a peritoneal flap is created to place a large polypropylene mesh in the preperitoneal space. The mesh is fixed with tacks or glue, and the peritoneal flap is closed. This minimally invasive method is designed to reduce postoperative pain and enhance recovery.
