The development of minimally invasive surgery is a major trend in future surgery, and it is expected that 80% of surgical procedures will be performed using minimally invasive techniques in the near future. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair With the continuous development of laparoscopic technology, laparoscopic hernia repair has emerged since the 1980s, and currently, the most commonly used methods are transperitoneal anterior patch implantation (TAPP) and total extraperitoneal preperitoneal patch implantation (TEP), which is based on stoppa’s open preperitoneal dacron hernia repair. The TAPP is based on the open pre-peritoneal dacron patch implantation of the stoppa, which is performed through the abdominal cavity into the pre-peritoneal space, then the peritoneal wound is closed with sutures after the patch is fixed, and the pre-peritoneal space is separated by two 5-mm and one 10-mm wounds without entering the abdominal cavity, completely outside the peritoneum. Therefore, no intra-abdominal adhesions are caused. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery are: reduction of postoperative pain and early mobility, simultaneous examination of bilateral inguinal and femoral hernias, simultaneous repair of bilateral hernias, and a 25% to 50% chance that a patient with a clinical hernia on one side will have a combined subclinical contralateral hernia, which can therefore be resolved in a single operation. The use of laparoscopy for recurrent hernias can avoid re-entry through the original surgical incision that could damage nerves or cause ischemic orchitis. Currently, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is considered suitable for multiple recurrent hernias and bilateral hernias, and laparoscopic hernia repair has been popularized in some large and medium-sized hospitals in China. The laparoscopic technique for inguinal hernia is a very safe and highly effective surgical method that can theoretically reduce postoperative recurrence to 0. Moreover, the minimally invasive technique allows patients to have less postoperative pain, faster recovery and less damage to the patient, with obvious advantages. I perform over 600 laparoscopic hernia repairs each year with very satisfactory overall outcomes.
