conclusions • The laparoscopicTEPhernioplasty offers a safe and effective repair with acceptable complication and recurrence rates • Excellent results with the TEP technique can be achieved by laparoscopic surgeons in private hospitals as in specialized hernia centers. • In my experience its suitability for large inguinoscrotal hernias is questionable
conclusions • Seroma ,the commonest postoperative complication in this series was treated conservatively as advised in literature but it was noticed that after 1 month if needed aspiration(two cases) was difficult to do, due to septations developed in seroma sac . Therefore advised not to wait longer than 1 month. if seroma not subsided better do aspiration at this stage rather than waiting longer. • Use of dissecting balloon reduces operative time significantly.
