Closing peritoneal tear during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: simple and effective technique.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePeritoneal tears occurring during TAPP and TEP are common, and can cause difficulty in continuing surgery, or, if left open can cause postoperative complications. A number of techniques to close the tear in the peritoneum have been described. These techniques are difficult and add to the operating time, and may not be successful in closing the opening in the peritoneum. We describe a simple, effective, fast technique of repairing these tears using the bipolar diathermy.
methodWe have used bipolar diathermy to seal inadvertent peritoneal tears occurring during TAPP/TEP repairs. This method of sealing the peritoneum has been used by us since 2015. We decided to review our results of sealing the tears in the peritoneum at TAPP/TEP from 01 Jan 2017 to 31 Dec 2019.
resultsA total of 152 laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TAPP/TEP) procedures were done by the authors from 01 January 2017 to 31 December 2019, and of these, 101 cases had some degree of peritoneal tear. All peritoneal tears were very simply sealed using bipolar diathermy.
conclusionsPeritoneal tears occurring inadvertently during Laparoscopic TAPP/TEP procedure for repair inguinal hernia can be effectively sealed with simple bipolar diathermy.
