tetraethylpyrazine (TEP)

10/01/2021 - "This pilot trial investigates whether the trans rectus sheath extra-peritoneal (TREPP) mesh repair is a safe and effective procedure compared to the currently most performed inguinal hernia repair techniques TEP and Lichtenstein. "
12/01/2001 - "The use of laparoscopic TEP repair has proven to be a safe and effective treatment in patients with primary and recurrent inguinal hernias. "
12/01/2023 - "The study showed overall improved results using the TEP inguinal hernia repair technique; however, no statistically significant results were demonstrated in the long term to advocate for changes to pre-existing surgeon preferences."
06/01/2015 - "Laparoscopic TEP inguinal hernia repair can be further improved with surgical proficiency and high surgical volumes."
03/01/2006 - "Laparoscopic TEP for inguinal hernia repair in patients after previous low abdominal surgery has good results, similar to those in patients without previous surgery. "

07/01/2003 - "In a representative patient population with recurrent hernia, we were able to demonstrate that TEP achieves very good results in terms of re-recurrence rate, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and rehabilitation. "
01/01/2021 - "Modified laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair of a parastomal hernia with the TEP technique is safe and effective, although the recurrence rate and late complications require confirmation in more cases with long-term follow-up."
09/01/2021 - "TEP-IHR in hemophiliacs with RT is feasible and as effective for preventing hernia recurrence as in NH-patients. "
11/25/2023 - "Therefore, R-TEP is safe and effective for both primary and secondary lumbar hernia. "
03/01/2011 - "Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of transection of the hernia sac during laparoscopic TEP. "

09/01/2015 - "TEP results in significant improvement in HRQOL including physical health, social functioning, and pain at 1 year. "
10/01/2012 - "TEP repair is a good operative intervention in athletes with chronic groin pain not relieved by conservative measures. "
01/01/2019 - "We hypothesize patients receiving self-fixating mesh during totally extraperitoneal (TEP) LIHR will report less pain and improved QoL compared to those receiving non-fixating mesh. "
01/01/2018 - "The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of pain and early recurrence in patients with LIH surgically treated with the TEP technique using a long-term degradable mesh. "
12/01/2017 - "Although the concept of pre-peritoneal local anaesthetic instillation following laparoscopic TEP is attractive, this appropriately powered study has failed to show any advantage in pain scores at 4 and 24 h. "

01/01/2019 - "TEP is superior to Lichtenstein with shorter hospitalization duration and lower rates of early postoperative pain. "
12/01/2010 - "These data suggest that the TEP repair results in less postoperative pain, a quicker return to normal functional status, and improved quality-of-life outcomes with equivalent recurrence rates when compared to the LR."
01/01/2023 - "This study aims to investigate the absence of mesh fixation in the TEP on the development of postoperative pain, mesh displacement, and recurrence rate. "
01/01/2023 - "The effect of mesh fixation on migration and postoperative pain in laparoscopic TEP repair: prospective randomized double-blinded controlled study."
01/01/2022 - "In the present study, we investigated the effect of NMB on the surgical conditions and postoperative pain of TEP. "

08/01/2005 - "Long-term results of TEP demonstrate it to be an effective and safe procedure with a low recurrence and low prevalence of chronic pain that is generally of a mild, infrequent nature."
01/01/2000 - "Many skeptics express concern about the subjective nature of chronic pain, the subjectivity of the tender point (TeP) examination, the lack of a gold standard laboratory test, and the absence of a clear pathogenic mechanism by which to define FMS. "
01/01/2017 - "The aim of this study is to evaluate postoperative acute and chronic pain via inflammatory markers as an objective assessment following tacks or glue mesh fixation in TEP repair. "
01/01/2013 - "Recent trials suggest that the totally extraperitoneal (TEP) technique may lead to reduced proportions of chronic pain. "
04/01/2010 - "This study compared the frequency of chronic pain after laparoscopic (totally extraperitoneal patch, TEP) and open (Lichtenstein) repairs. "
