Comparison of endoscopic surgery and Lichtenstein repair for treatment of inguinal hernias: A network meta-analysis

Conclusion: Our network meta-analysis showed that there were no differences among the TAPP, TEP, and Lichtenstein procedures in terms of safety or effectiveness for treating inguinal hernias. However, TAPP and TEP could decrease the number of return-to-work days. A further study with more focus on this topic for inguinal hernia is suggested.
