Mesh fixation techniques for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in adults

To assess the effects of different methods of mesh fixation and techniques for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in adults. The specific comparisons of interest are as follows:

  • mesh fixation compared with no mesh fixation;
  • non-mechanical fixation techniques compared with mechanical fixation techniques;
  • techniques for peritoneal closure in TAPP hernia repair.

This is a protocol.
