This is a video of an Extra-Peritoneal Left Inguinal Hernia Repair performed by Peter J. Lydon, M.D. Please go to the website at herniamd.com for more info.
There is no evidence to show that mesh fixation in the preperitoneal repair is of any benefit. I use fixation in only about 10% of cases. Avoiding tacks saves money and will decrease the post op pain and risk of chronic pain.
