The recommended treatment to correct them is inguinal herniorrhaphy, which can be performed through open surgery, mainly using the Lichtenstein technique, or laparoscopically, primarily through Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair (TAPP) or Total Extraperitoneal Repair (TEP) approaches. Like any surgery, these procedures have post-operative complications, with pain being the most common and debilitating. Currently, in European and Brazilian guidelines, the open Lichtenstein and endoscopic inguinal hernia techniques are recommended as best evidence-based options for repair of a primary unilateral hernia providing the surgeon is sufficiently experienced in the specific procedure. In that matter, the surgeon should make a choice based on assessment of the benefits and risks of performing each of them, and practice shared making decision with it patient. Therefore, the objective of this review was to assess the incidence of chronic postoperative pain by comparing the aforementioned surgical approaches to evaluate which procedure causes less disability to the patient.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The search conducted until May 2024 was performed on Medline (PubMed), Cochrane (CENTRAL), and Lilacs databases. The selection was limited to randomized clinical trials, nonrandomized clinical trials and cohort studies comparing TAPP or TEP to LC, evaluating the incidence of chronic postoperative pain published between 2017 and 2023. Evidence certainty was assessed using the GRADE Pro tool, and bias risk was evaluated with the RoB 2.0 tool and ROBINS I tool.
