Outcomes of Laparoscopic Keyhole Surgery (TAPP) for Recurrent Inguinal Hernia
Sponsor: Sohag University
Summary
This study evaluates the clinical outcomes and safety of the laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) approach for treating patients with recurrent inguinal hernias. Repairing a hernia that has returned after a previous operation is a significant surgical challenge due to preexisting scar tissue and altered anatomy. The laparoscopic TAPP technique allows surgeons to work through a different anatomical plane, potentially reducing complications and improving recovery. Patients undergoing this procedure will be monitored closely during the early post-operative period and throughout long-term follow-up. The objective is to determine the overall success of the TAPP technique in providing a durable repair for recurrent cases while minimizing post-operative issues.

Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Repair
The surgical procedure will be performed under general anesthesia. Standard laparoscopic instruments will be used to access the peritoneal cavity. The peritoneum over the recurrent inguinal hernia site will be incised to enter the preperitoneal space. After reduction of the hernia sac and clearing of post-operative adhesions, a synthetic mesh will be placed to cover the hernia defects. The mesh will be secured if necessary, and the peritoneal flap will be closed using sutures or tacks.
