Safety and efficacy in inguinal hernia repair: a retrospective study comparing TREPP, TEP and Lichtenstein (SETTLE)

ConclusionTREPP seems to be an effective and safe technique for unilateral primary inguinal hernia repair. It is found to be comparable to TEP and Lichtenstein in terms of recurrence rates, chronic post-operative inguinal pain, and clinically significant adverse events. This pilot study proves the need for future research into the TREPP technique.
