Use of an anatomical self-gripping Progrip™ laparoscopic mesh in TAPP hernia repair. Possible standard? Preliminary results of a prospective study

Conclusion The legitimacy of the use of the self-fixation mesh was demonstrated in an experiment, in open inguinal hernia repair, laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernioplasty (TEP) technique and in TAPP technique. Our study demonstrates that LIHR using the TAPP technique with implantation of a new Parietex™ ProGrip™ laparoscopic self-fixation mesh is a fast, effective and reliable method in experienced hands, which combines the advantages of laparoscopic approach with simple and practical implantation of self-fixation mesh, which, according to our results, reduces the occurrence of CPIP and the recurrence rate.
