Learning curve of single-incision laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal repair (SILTEP) for inguinal hernia
ConclusionFor an experienced laparoscopic surgeon, we estimated that approximately 60 cases are needed to overcome the LC for SILTEP in terms of both reducing OT and achieving a surgical failure rate < 10%. Further proficiency could be achieved after approximately 85 SILTEP procedures with a stable OT of approximately 35 min.
