ABSTRACT
Background:
Transabdominal pre-peritoneal repair is a wellaccepted method of inguinal hernia repair involving bothoptions of fixation or non-fixation of mesh. Objective was toanalyse the comparison between mesh fixation versus nomesh fixation in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair– TAPP, interms of operative time, post-operative pain, length of hospitalstay and recurrence.Materials andMethods:
This prospective randomised studywas conducted on a sample of 30 male patients whounderwent TAPP inguinal hernia repair. 15 of these underwentfixation and the remaining 15 with non-fixation of mesh.Results:
Mesh fixation increases postoperative pain andoperative time. No difference observed in terms of hospital staybetween the 2 groups. Fixation doesn’t prevent recurrence.Conclusion:
Mesh non -fixation can be utilised as a safe andeffective approach in TAPP hernia repair.
