      <hc_freetext>Inguinal Hernia.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The patients in this group are operated with the eTEP technique, which is described as follows:  A transverse incision is performed superior to the umbilicus, utilizing a transrectal approach on the left side. The posterior sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle is meticulously separated to gain access to the preperitoneal space. The carbon dioxide gas source is calibrated to achieve an intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) of 12 mmHg. Following this, a 10 mm optic trocar is introduced. The hernia sac is transferred into the preperitoneal space and repositioned laterally. The pubic bone and the inguinal ligament are subsequently isolated. A 12 × 15 cm mesh is secured in place using a stapler. The preperitoneal space is then evacuated, and the surgical wounds are sutured closed, followed by bandaging. Intervention 2: Control group: Patients in this group are operated on with the TAPP technique. In Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) repair for inguinal hernia, the procedure begins with the patient under general anesthesia in a supine Trendelenburg position. A 10 mm infraumbilical trocar is inserted for the laparoscope, with two additional 5 mm working ports placed in the lower abdomen. A peritoneal incision is made above the hernia defect, and the peritoneal flap is dissected to expose the preperitoneal space. The hernia sac is carefully reduced, with indirect sacs fully dissected and direct sacs reduced. A synthetic mesh (typically 10x15 cm) is then placed in the preperitoneal space, covering the myopectineal orifice, and secured with tacks or fibrin glue if necessary. The peritoneal flap is closed using sutures or tacks to prevent mesh exposure to the bowel. Finally, trocar sites are closed, and the patient is awakened from anesthesia and monitored postoperatively for early complications.</i_freetext>
