Assessing the learning curve in laparoscopic TAPP repair for emergency inguinal hernia: a comparative study with open repair.

(d) Postoperative Complications (Table 5 ) Wound infection was more frequent, although non significant, in the open group (21.1% vs 6.1%, p = 0.07), suggesting a possible trend of laparoscopy to reduce wound-related complications by avoiding large incisions.

Return to normal activities showed a favorable trend in late TAPP cases (5.3 ± 0.5 days) compared to early cases (5.7 ± 0.5 days), although this was not statistically significant ( p = 0.103).
