Modern laparoscopic groin hernia repair evolved from early, high-recurrence techniques in the 1980s to the current gold standards, TAPP (transabdominal preperitoneal) and TEP (totally extraperitoneal), developed in the early 1990s. These methods, pioneered by surgeons like Ger and refined by others, emphasize tension-free mesh placement in the preperitoneal space. Robotic repair is fast replacing the laparoscopic technique for the repair of groin hernias due to the excellent 3D visualisation, stability and ergonomic ease.

To understand the basics of groin anatomy and surgical implications
