TEP Hernia Repair in Punjab

What is This Procedure?

TEP repair is a laparoscopic technique where the surgeon creates a space between the abdominal wall muscles and the peritoneum (without entering the abdominal cavity) to place the mesh behind the hernia defect.

Diagnosis

TEP is typically chosen for straightforward inguinal hernias where the anatomy is clear.

Laparoscopic Treatment

In TEP repair, the surgeon creates the preperitoneal space from outside the abdominal cavity. This avoids any contact with internal organs, reducing the risk of injury. The mesh is placed to cover the entire inguinal floor.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Approach

• Does not enter the abdominal cavity
• Lower risk of internal organ injury
• Faster recovery
• Reduced risk of adhesions

Recovery Time

Same-day discharge. Return to normal activities in 1-2 weeks.
