Abstract
Objectives: To determine the frequency and reasons for conversion of TEP to TAPP.
Methodology: This cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Surgery, Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad, Pakistan from August 7, 2013 to November 29, 2016. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 17.
