AB The  total  extraperitoneal  (TEP)  approach  avoids  entering  the  peritoneal  cavity;  hence  there  is  the  theoretical  advantage  of  less  probability  for  visceral  injury  or  incisional  hernias.  In  addition,  it  avoids  the  problem  of  closure  of  the  peritoneal  flap.  The  preoperative  preparation,  anesthesia  considerations,  patient  position,  operating  room  setup,  and  operative  preparation  are  the  same  as  those  for  the  TAPP  procedure  (see  Chapter  115).  Sterile  drapes  are  applied  according  to  the  surgeon’s  specifications.  Then  a  time-out  is  performed.
