Abstract: Introduction: Inguinal hernia repair has been an area of recurring interest in global surgical practice, since numerous procedures have been described for its correction, reflecting the complexity of these hernias and the diversity of techniques available for their treatment. The laparoscopic approach has been shown to be superior to the traditional open surgery, due to the early return of patients to daily activities and reduced postoperative pain. However, the use of staplers to fix the meshes (tackers), in the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) technique, increases the cost of the procedure. This fact limits its use in the brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), favoring the extraperitoneal technique, still not widely taught in General Surgery residency programs across Brazil. Currently, the use of tackers is not mandatory for hernias smaller than 4 cm, which opens up the possibility of their use in SUS patients, in selected cases. Objectives: Offer a technical systematization for inguinal hernia repair using the TAPP technique without mesh fixation, describing in detail the steps of the procedure. Methods: Technical systematization through a detailed and illustrated explanation of its steps. The presented methodology was tested comparatively with the open technique (Lichtenstein) and proved to be equivalent in relation to postoperative complications and recurrences in a series of more than 100 consecutive cases previously published by the General Surgery Department of Cajuru University Hospital, associated with the School of Medicine of the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná. Conclusion: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair via TAPP without mesh fixation is safe, supported by the literature, reproducible and with a relatively short learning curve. Its relevance is due to cost reduction by ommiting the use of tacker. This systematization makes it possible to expand laparoscopic access to inguinal hernia repair in patients treated by the Unified Health System in our contry.
