Feasibility of laparoscopic indirect inguinal hernia repair with lateral umbilical fold covering internal inguinal ring combined with patch repair.

A significant trend toward reduced recurrence rates with increasing mesh size was noted (a “large” mesh was most often 10 × 15 cm in size). 3,017 patients who underwent TAPP showed a 5% recurrence rate using an 11 × 6 cm mesh in 325 repairs and a 0.16% recurrence rate using an 15 × 10 cm mesh [ 12 ].
