Does primary closure of direct inguinal hernia defect during laparoscopic mesh repair reduce the risk of early recurrence?

ConclusionClosure of direct inguinal hernia defects during laparoscopic mesh repair has been shown to reduce the incidence of early hernia recurrence in our retrospective study but future randomized controlled trials with large numbers would enable us to draw more robust conclusions and perhaps change the way we perform laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
