An interventional study of Totally extra peritoneal and Extended view totally extra peritoneal in Laparoscopic, Extended View and Totally Extra Peritoneal, sponsored by Mansoura University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-13.
Sponsored by Mansoura University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The aim of this prospective randomized clinical study is to compare effectiveness, feasibility and outcome between total extra peritoneal (TEP) and extended TEP (E-TEP) techniques in repair of inguinal hernia.
Groin hernias are the most common conditions referred to surgeons all over the world .The lifetime risk for men is 27.0% and for women is 3.0%. Approximately 75.0% of all abdominal wall hernias occur in the groin.
The techniques which are practiced now for hernia repair are mainly : Transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) ,Total extra peritoneal (TEP) ,Intraperitoneal only meshplasty(IPOM). Each technique has its own applications and pitfalls and has a very gradual learning curve; hence, they have remained confined to the expert hands only.
Mansoura University is the lead sponsor of 1,115 studies on the registry; 184 are open to participants now.
