The effect of mesh fixation on migration and postoperative pain in laparoscopic TEP repair: prospective randomized double-blinded controlled study.
Abstract
The development of chronic pain is one of the major post-surgery problems after inguinal hernia repair. Although the possibility of chronic pain formation decreases with laparoscopic methods, pain may develop due to the staples used. It is thought that absence of mesh fixation in total extra-peritoneal (TEP) repair does not increase the recurrence rate. This study aims to investigate the absence of mesh fixation in the TEP on the development of postoperative pain, mesh displacement, and recurrence rate.
