TEP, STEP BY STEP

Abstract

TEP is endoscopic surgery, recommended by many associations as the method of choice in the treatment of primary unilateral inguinal hernias. However, due to the limitations of space, and the complexity of the anatomy of the posterior wall of the inguinal region, it involves a somewhat steeper learning curve. Some steps in the surgical procedure are not simple, therefore we would like to point out and explain the more difficult aspects of dissection during a TEP, and facilitate the acceptance of this excellent technique in the repair of inguinal hernias.
