Fibrin glue versus stapler fixation in laparoscopic transabdominal inguinal hernia repair: A single center 5-year experience and analysis of the results in the elderly

Abstract

This study demonstrates that fibrin glue are same tolerated than tacks by patients and that the glues lead to the same good results during initial follow-up and in long term data also in the elderly. Meticulous preparation of the groin with preservation of spermatic sheet is in our opinion necessary to provide effective pain reduction and a good result in every TAPP procedure.
