About

This is a randomized control trial intending to study the clinical difference between different mesh fixation techniques in laparoscopic TAPP hernioplasty of inguinal hernia for adults with unilateral and bilateral inguinal hernia , two techniques are tissue glue and surgical tackers , the target population will be divided according to an electronic generated randomization into two groups , they will be compared according to multiple variables which includes but not limited to : procedure time, early post op complication , post-operative pain , late complications , short term and long term recurrence rates .

Full description

Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal ( TAPP ) hernioplasty has emerged as an essential procedure for adults complaining of both unilateral and bilateral inguinal hernia , various descriptions of the procedure have been published recently, complications and recurrence rates are being calculated for each method, different mesh fixation techniques are being used by different surgeons, some use surgical tackers, some use fibrin glue and some demonstrated an equal outcome if the mesh was not fixed at all.
