tetra-4-amidinophenoxypropane (TAPP)

03/01/2012 - "Using the laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair as a standardised operation, changing from 12-mm fascial port closure to a technique that uses port dilation (not requiring a potentially "tight" deeper fascial closure) in a similar group of patients shows that there is a significant reduction in postoperative analgesic requirement and an earlier return to productive work or normal lifestyle. "
03/01/2010 - "Laparoscopic TAPP is an acceptable method of spigelian hernia repair with good results and low recurrence rates. "
10/01/2008 - "A variety of commonly encountered inguinal and groin hernias were treated by TAPP with good results, minimal morbidity (4.39%) and one mortality. "
09/01/2001 - "Laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair is technically difficult, but in the hands of a well-trained surgeon, it is safe and effective with a high degree of patient satisfaction. "
10/01/1996 - "Our results support other studies and randomized trials reported in the literature and demonstrate that TAPP is an effective and safe operative procedure especially for the repair of recurrent groin hernias."

04/01/2007 - "Given the unique ability of laparoscopy to accurately evaluate the contralateral side and the limited added morbidity of bilateral repair, TAPP herniorrhaphy is beneficial in avoiding unnecessary explorations and allowing timely repairs in patients with occult inguinal hernias."
06/01/2000 - "The TAPP method appears to be an effective surgical alternative in patients with inguinal hernia."
11/01/2001 - "TAPP is safe and effective for the repair of the bilateral inguinal hernias."
07/01/2015 - "In recent years, 2 modifications of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair-needlescopic (nTAPP) surgery and single-port (sTAPP) surgery-have greatly improved patient outcomes over traditional approaches. "
04/01/2015 - "Comparison of postoperative short-term complications after laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) versus Lichtenstein tension free inguinal hernia repair: a randomized trial study."

05/01/2015 - "In our opinion, TAPP procedure with ProGrip™ mesh is a feasible procedure without using fixation devices; costs, chronic pain and recovery are improved. "
05/01/2014 - "The incidence of chronic pain was lower after TAPP repair."
05/01/2014 - "Chronic pain incidence was lower for the TAPP group (P 0.003). "
01/01/2014 - "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."
08/01/2013 - "Tacks-free transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernioplasty, using an anatomic 3-dimensional lightweight mesh with peritoneal suturing: pain and recurrence outcomes-initial experience."

06/01/2004 - "TAPP repair is superior to open repair in terms of shorter hospital stay, lower postoperative pain, and better patient satisfaction. "
04/01/2015 - "The two main short-term advantages of the laparoscopic TAPP repair with the tension free Lichtenstein repair were less postoperative pain and earlier return to the normal life activities. "
04/01/2015 - "The TAPP group patients significantly had experienced less postoperative pain than the Lichtenstein group in all moments (P<0.05). "
09/01/2008 - "A TAPP score was developed including the parameters age, ASA physical status, extent and severity of the procedure and postoperative pain level. "
04/01/2007 - "Patients who underwent TAPP reported significantly less postoperative pain and shorter sick leave (8 vs 16 days). "

06/01/2015 - "The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of SIL using both transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally preperitoneal (TEP) approaches and compare the patients' wound satisfaction between the two groups. "
03/01/1995 - "The overall complication rate for TAPP herniorrhaphies was 11.1% and included thigh paresthesias (6), inferior epigastric artery injuries (4), enterotomy (1), bowel obstruction (1), bladder injury (1), and urinary retention (14). "
05/01/2005 - "The eight non-randomised studies suggest that TAPP is associated with higher rates of port-site hernias and visceral injuries whilst there appear to be more conversions with TEP. "
01/01/2005 - "The eight non-randomised studies suggest that TAPP is associated with higher rates of port-site hernias and visceral injuries whilst there appear to be more conversions with TEP. "
01/01/2001 - "After our initial 300 transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repairs, which resulted in six recurrences, two bowel injuries, one bladder injury, and six cutaneous nerve injuries, the total extraperitoneal approach (TEP) was adopted. "
