Abstract Introduction There is some controversy regarding the proper surgical method for inguinal hernia repair and whether transabdominal preperitoneal or totally extraperitoneal repair should be used. The greatest difference between these procedures is the need for absorbable sutures to close the peritoneal incision. Materials and Surgical Technique The clinch knot is a kind of slip knot that is used for securing a fishing lure, hook, or swivel to a fishing line. This knot is used by fishermen and has historically proven to be secure. Discussion When a clinch know is placed at the tail end of a suture thread, a running suture can be started without knot tying.
