Laparo-endoscopic surgery reduces chronic inguinal pain post-hernioplasty

Laparo-endoscopic hernia surgery shows a lower likelihood of chronic inguinal pain compared to lichtenstein repair, with similar recurrence rates. This systematic review and meta-analysis of eight randomized controlled trials involving 1,469 patients provides robust evidence supporting the effectiveness of laparo-endoscopic mesh repair (TAPP and TEP) in reducing chronic pain following inguinal hernia repair procedures.
