Mesh fixation by pds tackers or vicryl intacorporeal sutures in transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair a randomized control trial

Abstract

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure, with laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair being a widely used technique. Mesh fixation during TAPP can be performed using various methods, primarily sutures or tackers. While both techniques aim to secure the mesh and prevent recurrence, they may differ in terms of postoperative pain, operative time, and complication rates. Aim: This study aimed to compare postoperative pain, operative time, and complication rates between mesh fixation using Vicryl intracorporeal sutures and PDS tackers in patients undergoing TAPP inguinal hernia repair.
