Comparative study of free vas deferens separation for repair of inguinal hernia and transabdominal preperitoneal prosthesis for adult males.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is now widely performed worldwide. However, there is no consensus on the most appropriate surgical operation for inguinal hernia in adult males. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and applicability of laparoscopic free vas deferens separation with transabdominal preperitoneal (LFVD-TAPP) repair for inguinal hernia in adult males, in comparison to the conventional transabdominal preperitoneal prosthesis (TAPP) approach.

Methods
