Host: Doctor, which operation works for most cases?

Dr. Zidan: The operation that works for most umbilical and paraumbilical hernias is eTEP. So what makes eTEP different from the other operations? In eTEP, we repair the abdominal wall using a laparoscope placed almost within the abdominal wall itself, not inside the abdominal cavity as in TAPP or IPOM Plus. On that basis, we repair the abdominal wall and the hernia and place the mesh within the abdominal wall, behind the muscles. The advantage of this operation is that the higher the abdominal pressure, the more firmly the mesh is held, which is the opposite of most other hernia operations. A pooled study of 860 patients comparing eTEP with IPOM Plus showed that pain after eTEP is lower, the hospital stay is shorter, and cosmetically it is the best. Most importantly, the recurrence rate is lower, at 1.8%, and the seroma rate is only 0.7%, the lowest figure among laparoscopic umbilical and paraumbilical hernia repairs. That's why "How much is the operation?" isn't the right question; the better question is "Which operation suits me best?"
