Fibrin glue versus staple mesh fixation in single-port laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair: A propensity score-matched analysis

The short-term outcomes of SP TEP were comparable regardless of the mesh fixation method, but the immediate postoperative analgesia requirement was significantly less for those in the fibrin glue group. The time to resume ADLs was shorter for the fibrin glue group. Fibrin glue for mesh fixation during SP TEP may be an efficacious alternative to stapling during minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair.
