Objective: To investigate certain clinical and paraclinical characteristics of patients with direct inguinal hernia and to evaluate long-term outcomes after totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repair combined with either 3D or 2D mesh prosthesis. Subject and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study combined with a prospective, uncontrolled interventional design was conducted on 69 male patients with 76 hernia sacs, who underwent elective surgery using the totally extraperitoneal (TEP) approach with either a 3D anatomically contoured mesh or a flat 2D mesh, from January 2019 to December 2024. Result: The study involved 69 male patients with direct inguinal hernia, with a mean age of 61.5 ± 13.1 years. Most patients were admitted due to a groin bulge (91.3%), typically appearing during ambulation or exertion (93.4%). According to the Nyhus classification, type IIIA was predominant (63.2%). The mean operative time was 59.2 ± 18.6 minutes for unilateral and 105.3 ± 30.1 minutes for bilateral hernias. The 3D mesh group had significantly shorter operative and mesh placement times than the 2D mesh group. The overall intraoperative and early postoperative complication rate was 18.8%, with peritoneal tears being the most common (8.7%). Early postoperative outcomes were rated as “good” in 89.9% of cases, higher in the 3D mesh group (94.3%) than in the 2D mesh group (85.3%). Conclusion: Totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic repair using 3D mesh for direct inguinal hernia demonstrated superior outcomes compared to 2D mesh, with shorter operative time, fewer complications, and better early postoperative results.
