Bilai A. Efficacy of the modified totally extraperitoneal plastic for inguinal hernia treatment

The thesis deals with an important problem of improving surgical treatment results in patients with inguinal hernia. It shows that poor results of surgical treatment are associated with a number of disadvantages in videoendoscopic preperitoneal inguinal hernia repairs, namely the use of clips and tackers and devices for preperitoneal space creation. Surgical treatment was performed in 158 patients with inguinal hernia. All patients were divided into three groups depending on a type of surgical tecnique. The main group consisted of 67 (42.4%) patients who underwent a modified technique of totally extraperitoneal plastic (TEP-m), the first comparison group consisted of - 70 (44.3%) patients after a laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP-repair), the second comparison group consisted of 21 (13.3%) patients who underwent a totally extraperitoneal plastic with fixation (TEP-f).
