The eTEP procedure involves opening of retro-rectus spaces along with the preperitoneal spaces of Retzius and Bogros at the groin level. This has led surgeons to explore the possibility of using the retro-rectus space for ventral hernia repair.

eTEP repair is a reproducible and safe technique for tackling various types of ventral hernia. Other than primary midline hernias, it is specifically useful in unusual lateral hernias. It is also useful in managing incisional and recurrent hernias with ease.

An alternative strategy has been developed for this setting where a mesh is placed in retromuscular space by minimal access technique of the extended Totally Extraperitoneal approach (eTEP). Methods: We have retrospectively analysed the data of 21 patients who underwent an eTEP procedure with a minimum follow-up of 2 months.

2022年6月15日 · A robotically enhanced-view totally extra-peritoneal (eTEP) technique, newly applied to ventral hernia repair, is proving its mettle among surgeons experienced in robotic assistance technologies. Leading the pack is Joseph Broucek, M.D., who has performed scores of eTEP procedures and trained many others across the country in the technique.

2024年3月26日 · The Extended Totally Extraperitoneal (eTEP) hernia surgery repair technique is a novel and advanced approach for the treatment of ventral and inguinal hernias. eTEP is a minimally invasive approach that can be performed laparoscopically or with robotic assistance, rather than being an open surgery technique. This technique was first introduced ...

2024年1月20日 · In conclusion, our study showed that the eTEP with suprapubic approach was safe and feasible in the treatment of epigastric and umbilical hernias.

Extended-TEP (eTEP), which was introduced in 2012 by Daes 3 offsets the limitation of restricted space in TEP, by providing a larger operative preperitoneal (PP) space, which in turn vastly improved the ergonomics without losing the other benefits of TEP. Though eTEP too has an associated learning curve, it is easier to learn and is being ...

2020年5月1日 · Since the first laparoscopic incisional hernia repair, several minimally invasive procedures have been developed in abdominal wall repair. In 2017, the extended totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach for abdominal wall repair was published. We present the results from eTEP implementation at two medical centers by one surgeon.

2021年4月30日 · The enhanced-view extended totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach for ventral hernia repair is a novel surgical technique. We present the results from the initial experience with eTEP repair Rives–Stoppa (eTEP-RS) at two Italian …

2021年2月2日 · eTEP-RS and eTEP-TAR techniques are feasible approaches to treat ventral or incisional midline hernia, hernias in association with diastasis recti, lateral hernias, and large hernias. The main advantage of the eTEP approach is the possibility of applying modern principles of hernia repair into the extraperitoneal plane in a minimally invasive ...
