TAPP Hernia Repair in Punjab

What is This Procedure?

TAPP repair is a laparoscopic technique where the surgeon enters the abdominal cavity, makes an incision in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen), and places the mesh in the preperitoneal space to cover the hernia defect.

Diagnosis

The choice between TAPP and TEP is made based on the patient's specific condition and anatomy.

Laparoscopic Treatment

In TAPP repair, the surgeon creates a space behind the abdominal wall muscles by going through the abdominal cavity. The mesh is placed to cover the inguinal floor and the hernia defects. The peritoneum is then closed over the mesh.
