Patients were divided in to two equal groups: Group A include patients underwent TEP repair with no mesh fixation, and Group B underwent TEP repair using tack fixation of mesh. Results: Regarding operative time, it was slightly longer in mesh fixation group. No intraoperative complications have been encountered in groups including bleeding, peritoneal tear or visceral injuries. Regarding postoperative period, there was no difference in the postoperative parameters between both groups including pain, hospital stay and recurrence.
