Summary

This study compares two laparoscopic methods for repairing inguinal hernias: a modified tumescent technique (MT-TAPP) and the conventional approach (CL-TAPP). The goal is to see which method leads to less pain, fewer complications like seromas, and faster recovery. Sixty adults with a unilateral inguinal hernia will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures.
