TL;DR: Patients with inguinal hernias who undergo laparoscopic repair recover more rapidly and have fewer recurrences than those who undergo open surgical repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrences After Conventional Anterior and Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Randomized Comparison
TL;DR: Patients with inguinal hernia who undergo laparoscopic repair have fewer recurrences and less chronic inguinals pain than those who undergo conventional open repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cost-effectiveness of extraperitoneal laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: a randomized comparison with conventional herniorrhaphy. Coala trial group.
TL;DR: A better quality of life in the recovery period and the possibility of replacing parts of the disposable kit with reusable instruments may result in the laparoscopic repair becoming dominantly better--that is, less expensive and more effective from a societal perspective.
