Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic total extraperitoneal prosthetic (TEP) versus Lichtenstein herniorrhaphy for treating inguinal hernias in 158 patients.
- Both surgical groups had similar baseline characteristics and no significant complications, with the operative times being comparable.
- However, the TEP group showed advantages with less intraoperative blood loss, shorter postoperative recovery time, and a reduced length of hospital stay compared to the Lichtenstein group.
