Abstract PDF: Surgery for inguinal hernia has made significant progress over a period of more than a century. The advent of minimally invasive techniques prompted further innovations. Among these, single-incision surgery offers significant advantages in creating the preperitoneal space. Therefore, it is essential for surgeons to understand and be able to perform single-incision laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (SIL-TEP) hernia repair.
