Abstract：The tension-free hernioplasty for inguinal hernia consists of anterior and posterior repair.Anterior repair includes plain mesh repair as well as plug and patch repair.Plain mesh reinforces the posterior wall of inguinal box,while plug could reinforce local defect.Posterior repair includes various preperitoneal repairs based on the principle of myopectineal orifice reinforcement.Laparoscopic hernia repair applies laparoscopic instruments via posterior approach to accomplish posterior repair under direct vision.Both TAPP and TEP are major procedures for inguinal hernia repair.The selection of appropriate procedure depends on surgeons' experiences and patients'situation.
