Diagnostic laparoscopy as the definitive means of hernia detection?

I believe it is best to have intact and often do most of my inguinal hernias through a TEPP or total extraperitoneal approach. Could you theoretically take it down and not replace it yes. Here are some images from today. One shows me with grasper and scissors and this is what peritoneum looks like before you take it down. Next image shows the flap down and looking into the prepetitoneal space at the cord structures. The final image shown a how you close it. I use a suture. Hopefully Dr. Towfigh can answer your question about research protocol regarding the robot. Regardless of you have a hernia and I fix it whether I suture it plus mesh or just suture it then I fixed a hernia and it will be covered. I don’t have any other experience as like I said regardless I fixed the hernia. In fact for many years we fixed hernias without mesh. Hope this
