Study has shown that the use of tacks caused more early postoperative pain. Manufacturers try to develop self-gripping mesh with the aim to reduce chronic pain. ProgripTM (Covidien) is a lightweight, self-gripping mesh composed of monofilament polyester and polylactic acid (PLA) microgrips indicated for inguinal hernia repair. The resorbable microgrips provide immediate adherence to surrounding muscle and adipose tissue during hernia surgery, as a result no fixation method is required. Studies have shown that ProgripTM is associated with less pain in the early recovery period when used in open Lichtenstein repair, yet there are few studies of ProgripTM in laparoscopic hernia repair.
