AB  - The  transabdominal  preperitoneal  (TAPP)  and  the  totally  extraperitoneal  repair  (TEP)  are  the  two  most  commonly  performed  types  of  laparoscopic  inguinal  hernia  repairs.  The  intraperitoneal  onlay  mesh  (IPOM)  repair,  the  only  truly  minimally  invasive  laparoscopic  hernia  repair  (because  a  radical  dissection  of  the  preperitoneal  space  is  avoided),  is  rarely  performed.  Over  the  last  decade,  surgeons  have  become  proficient  in  these  procedures  and  an  increasing  number  of  laparoscopic  repairs  are  being  performed.  Long-term  follow-up  data  is  now  available,  which  shows  that  laparoscopic  hernia  repair  has  similar  success  rate  as  the  conventional  repair,  with  early  return  to  work  and  possibly  decreased  overall  cost.
