Editorial on “Outcomes of laparoscopic transabdominal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair with single mesh in bilateral direct inguinal hernias”

In the article published in this issue, the authors propose the placement of a large preperitoneal mesh, which would have the benefit of less recurrence, thanks to the reduction of concentric retraction and the risk of the prosthetic material migration7. This technique reminds us of the Stoppa technique which, like all preperitoneal techniques via the anterior approach, fell into disuse with the advent of laparoscopy.
