Vol. 1 No. 1 (2026): CLINICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF TREATMENT OF STRANGULATED INGUINAL HERNIAS USING THE TAPP METHOD
This study evaluates the clinical and immunological outcomes of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repair compared with the conventional Lichtenstein technique in patients with strangulated inguinal hernias.
The results demonstrate that TAPP repair significantly reduces postoperative complications, shortens hospital stay, and enables faster patient recovery. Patients treated with laparoscopic techniques were mobilized earlier and required less postoperative analgesia compared to those undergoing open surgery.
In addition to improved clinical outcomes, patients undergoing TAPP repair showed better adherence to postoperative rehabilitation and dietary recommendations, contributing to enhanced recovery and long-term outcomes.
Immunological analysis revealed improved restoration of T-cell immunity and overall immune balance in the TAPP group. These findings indicate that minimally invasive techniques not only improve surgical outcomes but also support better immune system recovery.
Overall, laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair represents a more effective and physiologically favorable approach for treating strangulated inguinal hernias compared to traditional open techniques.
