TL;DR: There was no difference in postoperative complication rates between the two groups, except for urinary retention, which patients who underwent TEP repair were more likely to get.

Abstract: Whereas open Lichtenstein inguinal herniorrhaphy is generally accepted as a safe, well-understood method with a high success rate, the laparoscopic repair of a inguinal hernia is a fairly recent technique. Although the laparoscopic approach to a hernia repair procedure is associated with less pain and faster recovery than open repair, many surgeons are not familiar with this technique owing to technical demands and a long learning curve. This study compares the results and complications between open tension-free mesh (Lichtenstein) repair and laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) repair. The study cohort was comprised of 345 consecutive patients who underwent an inguinal herniorraphy procedure. An open hernia repair was performed on one group of patients (n = 233), whereas TEP repair was performed on the other (n = 112), and then the comparison of intra- and postoperative complications and results obtained from both techniques was done. The mean hospital stay was similar in both groups. The average ope...

Laparoscopic vs. open inguinal hernia repair: A systematic review of literature
TL;DR: To compare laparoscopic mesh repair with open method in management of inguinal hernia, a large number of trials are too small to show clear benefits of one technique over another.
Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal repair without suprapubic port: comparison with conventional totally extraperitoneal repair.
TL;DR: Although prospective randomized studies with long-term follow-up evaluation are needed, the TEP repair without suprapubic-port and conventional laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal repair has some advantages in postoperative pain, urinary retention, operating time, postoperative hospital stay, and cosmetic effect.

The tension-free hernioplasty
TL;DR: With the use of modern mesh prosthetics, it is now possible to repair all hernias without distortion of the normal anatomy and with no suture line tension, allowing prompt resumption of unrestricted physical activity.

TL;DR: Laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy is a viable alternative to the conventional repair and can be offered safely to patients undergoing other abdominal procedures, as surgeons became more familiar with the anatomy of the nerve supply to the groin when viewed laparoscopy.

Tension-free inguinal hernia repair: TEP versus mesh-plug versus Lichtenstein: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
TL;DR: Postoperative pain was lower in the patients undergoing TEP than in those undergoing Lichtenstein and mesh-plug procedures, and the median time to full recovery was significantly shorter in the TEP group compared to the other two groups.

TL;DR: An assessment of mechanisms leading to hernia recurrence after laparoscopic and traditional preperitoneal herniorrhaphy to allow surgeons using either technique to achieve better results and to be considered a viable alternative to the most successful methods of conventional hernia repair.

Totally extraperitoneal endoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TEP).
TL;DR: TEP is considered to be a procedure that carries an acceptably low complication rate, combining the advantages of minor access surgery and mesh reinforcement of the groin and a very low recurrence rate.
