Core Tip
Core Tip: Totally preperitoneal (TPP) is a novel concept that was recently introduced and differs from totally extraperitoneal hernioplasty (TEP). Our previous findings suggested that the TPP approach could advance single-incision laparoscopic (SIL) inguinal hernia repair of unilateral inguinal hernias more feasibly than could SIL-TEP. The procedure was named SIL-TPP. SIL-TPP has unique characteristics and advantages. However, evidence for the characteristics of the SIL-TPP or TPP approach is scarce. SIL-TPP has potential benefits for patients with various abdominal wall hernias. In addition, the TPP approach combined with a single incision merits further research to elucidate its feasibility and advantages for treating other abdominal hernias, including emergency cases, incisional hernias, and umbilical hernias.
