PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic two-port totally extraperitoneal (TEP) @entity169 . METHODS: A 10-year retrospective analysis from 2004 to 2013 of @entity1 undergoing two-port TEP performed by a single surgeon at three surgical centers. RESULTS: 336 consecutive @entity1 underwent two-port TEP repairing 478 @entity547 . 315 (93.8  %) @entity1 were male and 21 (6.2  %) were female. Mean age      SD was 47      14  years and mean body mass index      SD was 28.0      4.7  kg/m(2). Indications for surgery included primary repair 303 (90.2  %), recurrence from open repair 28 (8.3  %), and @entity169 (1.5  %). 194 (57.7  %) cases were unilateral and 142 (42.3  %) were bilateral. Operative time      SD was 38.7      14.9  min for unilateral repair and 43.4      17.6  min for bilateral repair. Two-port TEP was successful in 316 (94.0  %). 20 (6.0  %) cases required the addition of a third port. 2 (0.6  %) cases were converted to open repair. Mean follow-up time      SD was 5.4      2.7  years. @entity260 included urinary retention 5 (1.5  %), seroma 7 (2.1  %), @entity1410 1 (0.3  %), surgical site infection 4 (1.2  %), and chronic inguinal pain 3 (0.9  %). 11 (2.3  %) @entity547 recurred. CONCLUSION: Two-port TEP appears to be a feasible, safe, and effective method for laparoscopic @entity169 and should be considered a viable, less invasive alternative to conventional three-port techniques.
