Muhammad Siddique Khan, Junaid Zeb, Amer Zaman.


Abstract
Objectives: To determine the frequency and reasons for conversion of TEP to TAPP.
Methodology: This cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Surgery, Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad, Pakistan from August 7, 2013 to November 29, 2016. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 17.

Direct hernia was noted in 71(47.0%) and indirect hernia in 80(53.0%) patients. 21(13.90%) patients was converted to TAPP procedure. Reasons were hemorrhage in 8(5.3%) patients, peritoneal tear in 11(7.3%), while instrumental failure in 2(1.3%) patients.
