Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair versus open mesh plug repair for bilateral primary inguinal hernia

摘要

A few studies comparing laparoscopic and open techniques have reported that open repair with mesh is the optimal operation for unilateral primary hernia. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) versus open mesh plug repair (MP) for bilateral primary inguinal hernia.
