Perioperative outcome of unilateral versus bilateral inguinal hernia repairs in TAPP technique: analysis of 15,176 cases from the Herniamed Registry.

The postoperative complications necessitated reoperation in 0.9 % of patients after unilateral and in 1.9 % of patients after bilateral inguinal hernia repair, thus attesting to the significantly higher risk presented by bilateral inguinal hernia repair ( p = <0.001).Multivariate analysis confirmed the highly significant influence of bilateral TAPP on increased reoperation rates due to complications ( p > 0.0001).
