The results of our randomized trial of 176 patients comprising primary hernias [Shouldice versus transabdominal preperitoneal approach (TAPP)] showed only slight advantages for the laparoscopically operated group compared to the conventionally operated group: less subjective pain (significant only on fifth postoperative day, p < 0.05), reduced analgesic requirement (significant only on third postoperative day, p < 0.05), significantly shorter duration of hospitalization (4 days vs. 6 days, p < 0.05) and faster return to work (27 days vs. 34 days, NS). Regarding the incidence of recurrences, there was no significant difference between the groups (two recurrences vs. one recurrence) within a follow-up period of 2 years. Postoperative morbidity was similar and the total cost was less for the TAPP group.

D006552 Hernia, Inguinal An abdominal hernia with an external bulge in the GROIN region. It can be classified by the location of herniation. Indirect inguinal hernias occur through the internal inguinal ring. Direct inguinal hernias occur through defects in the ABDOMINAL WALL (transversalis fascia) in Hesselbach's triangle. The former type is commonly seen in children and young adults; the latter in adults.
