      BACKGROUND: Adverse economic conditions often prevent the widespread implementation of modern surgical techniques in third world countries such as in Sub-Sahara Africa. AIM OF THE STUDY: To demonstrate that a modern technique (laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernioplasty [TEP]) can safely be performed at significantly lower cost using inexpensive mesh material. SETTINGS: Douala University Hospital Gynecology, Obstetrics and Pediatrics and two affiliated centers, Ayos Regional Hospital and Edéa Regional Hospital in Cameroon. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) of consecutive adult patients presenting with primary inguinal hernia treated by TEP, comparing implantation of sterilized mosquito mesh (MM) with conventional polypropylene mesh (CM). Primary endpoints were peroperative, early and midterm postoperative complications and hernia recurrence at 30 months. RESULTS: Sixty-two patients (48 males) were randomized to MM (n = 32) or CM (n = 30). Groups were similar in age distribution and occupational features. Peroperative and early outcomes differed in terms of conversion rate (2/32 MM) due to external (electrical power supply) factors and mesh removal for early obstruction (1/30 CM). No outcome differences, including no recurrences, were noted after a median follow-up of 21 months. CONCLUSION: In this RCT with medium-term follow-up, TEP performed with MM appears not inferior to CM.
