Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects of different methods of mesh fixation and techniques for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in adults. The specific comparisons of interest are as follows: mesh fixation compared with no mesh fixation; non-mechanical fixation techniques compared with mechanical fixation techniques; techniques for peritoneal closure in TAPP hernia repair.
