Article Abstract
Background: International guidelines recommend a laparoscopic approach in patients with recurrent inguinal hernia after open anterior repair. It is unclear which laparoscopic approach should be used. The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the laparoscopic enhanced view-total extraperitoneal (eTEP) technique and total extraperitoneal (TEP) technique in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernias.
Methods: The retrospective cohort study compared patients with unilateral recurrent inguinal hernia after anterior repair who underwent eTEP or TEP technique from February 2023 to February 2024. The two groups were compared in demographic characteristics and surgical and postsurgical data. The primary outcome of this study was recurrence and operation time.
Results: A total of 62 patients were analyzed. The eTEP technique was performed on 32 patients, while the TEP technique was used on 30 patients. The mean follow-up period was 18.3 (± 5) months. There was no recurrence in either group. The mean operative time was 44.4 (± 10.4) minutes for the eTEP group and 45.7 (± 10.2) minutes for the TEP group (p = 0.62). Pneumoperitoneum occurred in 14 (43.7%) patients in the eTEP group and 20 (66.7%) patients in the TEP group (p = 0.07). The mean time to return to activities was 6.8 (± 2.7) days for the eTEP group and 6.9 (± 2.3) days for the TEP group (p = 0.57). Chronic pain was reported in only 1 (3.3%) patient in the TEP group (p = 0.48). The length of stay in the hospital was 1 day for both groups. Hematoma formation was observed in 3 (9.3%) patients in the eTEP group and 3 (10%) patients in the TEP group; seroma formation was reported in 2 (6.2%) and 2 (6.7%) patients, respectively (p = 0.99).
Conclusion: The eTEP technique demonstrated results similar to TEP, particularly regarding recurrence, operation time, and postoperative outcomes. Like TEP, eTEP is a safe and viable option for recurrent inguinal hernias. Furthermore, prospective randomized studies comparing these two techniques are necessary for recurrent inguinal hernias.

Background: Ventral hernias, particularly umbilical hernias, are the second most common type of abdominal wall hernias after inguinal hernias. Surgical intervention using mesh placement has become standard due to its effectiveness in reducing recurrence. Among mesh techniques, the sublay approach is widely practiced through both open and laparoscopic methods.

De Garengeot hernia, characterized by appendiceal incarceration within a femoral canal hernia sac, is a rare condition with high risks of strangulation. Traditional open repair remains standard, but laparoscopic approaches offer minimally invasive alternatives. However, limited evidence exists on combining laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) with biologic mesh for this condition.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of preperitoneal closed suction drainage in reducing postoperative complications in total extraperitoneal (TEP) repair inguinal hernia repair.
Methods: Between May 2021 and February 2023, 125 patients aged 18-80 years who were admitted to our hospital with primary unilateral (PM2, PM3 and PL2, PL3) inguinal hernia were included in preperitoneal drainage (group 1, n = 45) and no drainage groups (group 2, n = 80). Hematoma and seroma size, early postoperative bleeding, postoperative hospital stay, pain score and recurrence were recorded on the 6th day and 3rd month after surgery.
