Fixation techniques in inguinal hernia repair, what is really new?

Excerpt

The development of new operation techniques and advancements in mesh technologies could not change the fact that chronic pain remains the most severe postoperative complication in open and laparoscopic hernia surgery [1]. While laparo-endoscopic repairs such as TAPP and TEP are favorable regarding less chronic postoperative pain in comparison to open procedures, the discussion of mesh fixation techniques in laparo-endoscopic as well as in open inguinal hernia repair is still a hot topic. …
