CTEP Versus LESS Totally Extraperitoneal Hernioplasty.

Conclusion: LESS-TEP is as feasible and safe as CTEP. The use of LESS-TEP successfully improved the cosmetic outcomes of inguinal hernia repair surgery with smaller and fewer scars for patients. As a new surgical treatment approach for inguinal hernias, the LESS-TEP technique is still not a necessary or efficacious surgical alternative strategy for CTEP, especially for surgeons who are less experienced in the technique.
