How to do minimally invasive inguinal hernia patch surgery

Minimally invasive inguinal hernia patch surgery includes both transperitoneal laparoscopic anterior peritoneal patch repair (TAPP procedure) and total extraperitoneal patch repair (TEP procedure) surgery. 1. TAPP: After establishing the pneumoperitoneal space, enter the abdominal cavity, incise the peritoneum above the hernia sac, fully free the retro-pubic bladder space and inguinal space, then separate the hernia sac, spermatic cord de-peritonealization, then flatten the patch to cover the entire musculopubic foramen, and finally suture the peritoneum. 2. TEP: Unlike TAPP surgery, this procedure does not enter the laparoscope, but performs surgical operations at the level of the anterior peritoneal hiatus, including freeing the hiatus, separating the hernia sac, de-peritonization of the spermatic cord, and laying the patch. Minimally invasive patch surgery for inguinal hernia is now widely performed in various hospitals, and you should follow the doctor’s instructions after surgery.
