Abstract
Totally extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) is a relatively new technique of repairing inguinal hernias where the dissection and repair are carried out without violating the peritoneal cavity. McKernan and Law first introduced totally extraperitoneal hernia repair in 1993 (McKernan and Laws, Surg Endosc 7(1):26–28, 1993). They reported 51 cases, of which, 11 were recurrent and 12 were bilateral. The procedure has since been refined, especially with advancements is surgical technology and training.
