Diagnostic laparoscopy as the definitive means of hernia detection?
I do not know anyone performing TEPP without mesh placement although it would theoretically be possibly by simply suturing the defect closed from the TEPP space and not placing mesh. Most surgeons do not close the defect from behind and just place mesh. Closing increasing chances of pain form nerve entrapment also. Some folks are starting to close on the robot but that is a TAPP approach.
