Brief Summary
Laparoscopic treatment of inguinal hernia with the totally extraperitoneal approach (TEP) is indicated for simple and bilateral inguinal hernias. It consists of placing a large prosthesis in the posterior position by direct access to the extra-peritoneal space. This prosthesis is interposed between the defective wall and the peritoneum. Unlike the transperitoneal laparoscopic method, the strictly extraperitoneal approach reduces complications related to contact with the intestinal loops and preserves the peritoneal layer intact. TEP approach is traditionally performed under general anesthesia with curare and orotracheal intubation. In the study, we would like to assess this intervention without curare and without standard orotracheal intubation but with a laryngeal mask airway to permit ventilation.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Comparison of the number of laparoscopic TEP hernia repairs carried out under optimal conditions compared to an intervention requiring adaptation.
The intervention will be qualified as successful if the following three criteria (i.e. optimal conditions) are validated: * No use of curares AND * Use of a laryngeal mask airway for the entire duration of the procedure (no use of orotracheal intubation) AND * Ambulatory surgical setting, or hospital setting only if not related to the intervention (e.g.: organizational problem of returning home). If one of the above criteria is not met, the intervention will be considered as failure for the primary endpoint.
During the procedure
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Assessment of the intervention-related ambulatory surgical setting failure.
During the procedure
Assessment of the procedure change rate, from a TEP approach to a Trans-Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal approach (TAPP).
During the procedure
Evaluation of the occurrence of post-operative complications during the first month following the intervention.
At 1 month after the procedure
Pain assessment
After the procedure and the day after the intervention by phone call
Study Arms (1)
Hernia repair with laparoscopic TEP approach without curare and without orotracheal intubation.
Patients will undergo laparsocopic TEP hernia repair without curare and without orotracheal intubation.
Interventions
All the techniques and protocols used for this monocentric study are standardized: * The anesthesia is general, the anesthetic products administered are identical, * ventilation is ensured by the use of a laryngeal mask airway, without curare administered * the surgery is an extraperitoneal laparoscopy with an optical trocar under the umbilical and two operators with the placement of a preformed type 3G polypropylene prosthesis * the analgesic protocol is free of opioids (Opioid Free Anesthesia - OFA)
Eligibility Criteria
Patients that will undergo a laparoscopic TEP hernia repair without curare and without orotracheal intubation, eligible to an ambulatory surgical setting.
You may qualify if:
- Male or female aged 18 or over
- BMI below 30
- Non-recurrent unilateral hernia
- Operating time estimated at less than 60 minutes at the surgeon's discretion
- Patients eligible to an ambulatory surgical setting at the discretion of the surgeon and the anesthetist
- Patient informed of the study and agreed to take part.
You may not qualify if:
- Patient under legal protection measures
- Impossibility of using a laryngeal mask airway
- Pregnant or breastfeeding woman
