Background: TAPP is a commonly performed laparoscopic technique for inguinal hernia repair but it is an ever evolving surgery. Methods: Patients diagnosed with inguinal hernia and undergoing laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair were enrolled into two groups; Group A included 25 patients in whom peritoneal flap closure was done with tracker and the second group B included 25 patients in whom peritoneal flap closure was done with suture. Results: The operative time in Tacker group was 92.92 ± 11.35 minutes and in suture group was 104.00 ± 13.86 (p value = 0.006) which was highly significant.
