BACKGROUND: Hernioplasty for @entity169 is one of the commonest operations performed in general surgical wards. More recently, interest has waxed and waned regarding the minimally invasive approach to hernioplasty. This study was carried out to assess the management outcome of minimally invasive hernioplasty (Totally extra-peritoneal approach) as the treatment of choice for uncomplicated (incomplete and reducible) @entity169 . METHODS: In this quasi experimental study @entity1 aged between 14-83 years who were otherwise fit and willing for total extra-peritoneal laparoscopic repair were recruited prospectively over a 10 month period. Thirty-seven such @entity1 were operated and followed up in the @entity547 clinics. Six cases were later excluded for lack of proper follow-up. RESULTS: The typical @entity1 was middle-aged male with right-sided @entity169 . Mean operating time was 53.3 minutes. No conversion was undertaken; however, there was one case of @entity130 that went unrecognized on-table but necessitated subsequent laparotomy. Overall morbidity was 13.5%. Mean length of hospitalization was 2.89 days. Mean duration to normal routine life was 9.25 days. Overall, 70.9% of @entity1 expressed satisfaction with the surgery. CONCLUSION: Totally extra-peritoneal mesh repair is a new and safe technique for hernioplasty with acceptable rates of morbidity and it is procedure of choice for recurrent and bilateral @entity169 and also used as alternate to open hernioplasty for uncomplicated (incomplete and reducible) inguinal herma.
