Minimally Invasive Inguinal Hernia Repair

Minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair, including laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal and totally extraperitoneal approaches, has become a standard option for the management of primary and recurrent inguinal hernias. These techniques offer advantages such as reduced postoperative pain, earlier return to normal activity, and improved visualization of bilateral defects compared with open repair. However, they require a detailed understanding of preperitoneal anatomy, proper mesh placement, and avoidance of critical structures to minimize complications such as chronic pain, recurrence, and vascular or nerve injury. This activity provides a comprehensive review of indications, patient selection, operative techniques, and complication management. Clinicians gain practical insights into optimizing surgical outcomes, improving perioperative care, and integrating evidence-based strategies to enhance patient safety and recovery in minimally invasive hernia repair.
