El tiempo quirúrgico en promedio fue de 93.1 minutos; con un tiempo máximo de 120 minutos y mínimo de 60 minutos. El tiempo de hospitalización en el 100 % de los pacientes fue de 48 h. De las complicaciones post operatorias se establece que el 76.6 % no presento ningún tipo de complicación; el 20 % presentó seroma como complicación principal y 3.3 % infección del sitio quirúrgico. Conclusión: debido a su alta frecuencia y a su impacto en la incapacidad laboral y social, las hernias inguinales representan una de las patologías quirúrgicas más importantes con bajas tasas de complicaciones post operatorias y corta estancia hospitalaria.
Introduction: inguinal hernia is one of the main reasons TAPP, e-TEP (Totally extraperitoneal with extended vision) for surgical consultation and its repair is one of the most common surgical procedures. Objective: to determine the experience in the laparoscopic approach of inguinal hernias by preperitoneal transabdominal technique in the Servicio de Cirugía General of the Centro Médico Nacional-Hospital Nacional. Methodology: retrospective descriptive observational study of cross-sectional time. In patients from 16 to 90 years of age with a diagnosis of inguinal hernia admitted to the Servicio de Cirugía General of the Centro Médico Nacional-Hospital Nacional for elective hernioplasty. Results: 30 hernioplasties were carried out by the TAPP technique, of which 73 % were performed in men and 27 % in women; a mean age of 48.4 years was identified, the age group most frequently being 38 to 48 years. In the pre-surgical physical examination, unilateral inguinal hernias were found in 76.6 % and bilateral in 23.3 %; in most of the patients the hernias were primary in 86.6 % and recurred in 13.3 %. Average surgical time was 93.1 minutes; with a maximum time of 120 minutes and a minimum of 60 minutes. The hospitalization time in 100 % of the patients was 48 hours. Of the post-operative complications, it is established that 76.6% did not present any type of complication; 20 % presented seroma as the main complication and 3.3 % surgical site infection. Conclusion: due to its high frequency and its impact on work and social disability, inguinal hernias represent one of the most important surgical pathologies with low rates of postoperative complications and short hospital stay.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To determine the effects of preperitoneal balloon (PPB) tamponade with different volumes of fluid on hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture-associated arterial and venous hemorrhage in a swine model.Methods:A model of open-book pelvic fracture with injuries to external iliac vessels was established in 18 female 12-month old Bama miniature pigs. After the successful establishment of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture with vascular injury was confirmed by contrast agent imaging, the animals were randomized into 3 even groups ( n=6): a control group (group C) subjected to PPB tamponade with 0 mL fluid injected, group T1 subjected to PPB tamponade with 500-mL fluid injected, and group T2 subjected to PPB tamponade with 1,000-mL fluid injected. The 3 groups were compared in terms of 60-min survival rate, balloon pressure, peritoneal pressure, bladder pressure, 70-min survival rate, blood loss, and infusion volume. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the basic hemodynamic or other experimental indicators among the 3 groups before experiment, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). The 60-min survival rate in group T2 was 100.0% (6/6), significantly higher than those in group C and group T1 [0.0% (0/6), 0.0% (0/6)] ( P<0.05). After fluid injection, the balloon pressure and preperitoneal pressure in group T2 were respectively (127.2±4.7) mmHg and (34.5±3.6) mmHg, significantly higher than those in group T1 [(78.7±3.8) mmHg and (13.7±2.8) mmHg] and in group C [0 mmHg and (9.0±1.4) mmHg], and the 2 indicators in group T1 were significantly higher than those in group C (all P<0.05). After fluid injection, there was no statistically significant difference among groups C, T1, and T2 in bladder pressure [(6.7±1.0) mmHg, (5.8±1.9) mmHg, and (6.0±1.1) mmHg] or in bleeding volume [(1,163.0±191.3) mL, (1,212.0±148.4) mL, and (975.0±133.2) mL] (all P≥ 0.05). The infusion volume in group T1 [(1,250.0±225.8) mL] was significantly larger than that in group C [(951.7±177.8) mL] ( P<0.05). No colorectal or bladder injuries were found by the anatomy of the experimental animals in 3 groups. Conclusions:PPB tamponade with 1,000-mL fluid injected in a swine model can efficiently control pelvic fracture-associated arterial and venous hemorrhage, and increase the 60-min survival rate with no colorectal or bladder injuries.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application effects of modified laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) and laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) in inguinal hernia.Methods:One hundred and twenty-five patients with inguinal hernia in Yiwu Central Hospital from February 2017 to December 2019 were selected for retrospective study. They were divided into modified TEP group (63 cases) and TAPP group (62 cases). The modified TEP group was treated with modified TEP, and the TAPP group was treated with TAPP. The perioperative operation related indexes, serum oxidative stress indexes, 1-year recurrence rate and semen quality indexes were compared between the two groups.Results:The scores of visual analogue scale after operation for 24 h in the modified TEP group was lower than that in the TAPP group: (1.68 ± 0.39) scores vs. (1.97 ± 0.46) scores, P<0.05. After operation for 3 d, the levels of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the modified TEP group were higher than those in the TAPP group: (92.79 ± 8.82) μmol/L vs. (84.40 ± 7.36) μmol/L, (81.52 ± 9.37) U/L vs. (75.75 ± 8.50) U/L; and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the modified TEP group was lower than that in the TAPP group: (23.42 ± 3.3) μmol/L vs. (26.71 ± 3.92) μmol/L; the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in 1-year recurrence rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). One year after operation, the levels of acid phosphatase (ACP), fructose (FRU) and α- glucosidase (α- Glu) in the modified TEP group were higher than those in the TAPP group: (180.87 ± 20.15) kU/L vs. (159.85 ± 14.50) kU/L, (3.37 ± 0.84) g/L vs.(2.53 ± 0.67) g/L, (62.94 ± 6.25) kU/L vs. (43.96 ± 5.31) kU/L, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Both modified TEP and TAPP are effective methods for the treatment of inguinal hernia, but the former can reduce surgical trauma, recover quickly, and protect normal reproductive function.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: La adiposidad central como factor desencadenante de resistencia a la insulina precoz constituye una amenaza potencial de riesgo metabólico y cardiovascular en el embarazo. Objetivo: Determinar la capacidad discriminante de las grasas abdominales sobre la resistencia a la insulina, diagnosticada por el índice triglicéridos/glucosa-IMC al finalizar el primer trimestre del embarazo. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional analítico de 526 gestantes con embarazo simple y edad gestacional entre 12 y 13 semanas, entre los años 2016 y 2020. Se estudió el test de triglicéridos/glucosa-IMC y las grasas abdominales por ultrasonido. Se utilizaron las curvas ROC (Receiver operating characteristic Curve) para discriminar la resistencia a la insulina al finalizar el primer trimestre de la gestación, cuando aumentan las grasas abdominales. Resultados: La grasa subcutánea fue la que presentó mayor área bajo la curva en la discriminación de la resistencia a la insulina, con un nivel de sensibilidad y especificidad aceptable. Conclusiones: La grasa subcutánea, aunque con bajo valor discriminativo, puede considerarse como augurio de resistencia a la insulina y de diabetes gestacional. Se requiere profundizar en el estudio de las grasas abdominales dado el conocimiento de su impacto en los desórdenes metabólicos en el curso avanzado de la gestación(AU)
Introduction: Central adiposity as a triggering factor for early insulin resistance is a potential threat of metabolic and cardiovascular risk in pregnancy. Objective: To determine the discriminating capacity of abdominal fat over insulin resistance, diagnosed by the triglyceride/glucose-BMI index at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy. Methods: An analytical and observational study was carried out with 526 pregnant women of singleton pregnancy and gestational age between twelve and thirteen weeks, between 2016 and 2020. The triglyceride/glucose-BMI test was studied, together with abdominal fats by ultrasound. ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curves were used to discriminate insulin resistance at the end of the first trimester of gestation, when abdominal fats increase. Results: Subcutaneous fat presented the highest area under the curve in the discrimination of insulin resistance, with an acceptable level of sensitivity and specificity. Conclusions: Subcutaneous fat, although with low discriminative value, can be considered as a harbinger of insulin resistance and gestational diabetes. Further study of abdominal fat is required, given the knowledge of its impact on metabolic disorders in late gestation(AU)

Objective:To explore the risk factors of chronic postoperative inguinal pain for laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair and establish a nomogram prediction model for it.Methods:The clinical data of 576 patients who underwent laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair for inguinal pain at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2015 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to different postoperative outcomes, patients were divided into chronic pain group ( n=54) and non-chronic pain group ( n=522), compared two groups of patients in the material, including gender, age, BMI, smoking history, history of drinking, hypertension, diabetes, chronic bronchitis, abdominal surgery history, history of inguinal hernia, hernia type, the hernial sac size, prophylactic use of antibiotics, VAS score, mesh fixation techniques, operation time, length of stay. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as ( ± s) and independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparision between groups. Chi-square test was used to compare the measurement data of counting data.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain. R software was used to establish the drawing of the nomogram prediction model, and the consistency index, calibration chart and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive ability of the nomogram prediction model. Results:According to the results of the Logistic regression analysis, age≤45 years ( OR=2.202, 95% CI: 1.080-4.491), BMI≥24 kg/m 2 ( OR=2.231, 95% CI: 1.204-4.134), hernial sac≤5 cm ( OR=2.623, 95% CI: 1.309-5.257), recurrent hernia ( OR=2.769, 95% CI: 1.118-6.860), preoperative pain ( OR=4.121, 95% CI: 2.004-8.476), suture fixation ( OR=2.204, 95% CI: 1.151-4.219)and Postoperative acute pain (VAS>3) ( OR=5.814, 95% CI: 2.532-13.350) were independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain ( P<0.05). Based upon the above independent risk factors, the nomogram prediction model was established and verified. The area under the curve of the nomogram prediction model was 0.779 (95% CI: 0.718-0.840, P<0.01). After internal verification, the concordance index value of the prediction model was 0.779. Conclusion:age≤45 years, BMI ≥24 kg/m 2, hernial sac≤5 cm, recurrent hernia, preoperative pain, suture fixation and Postoperative acute pain (VAS>3) are independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain for laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair, the nomogram prediction model has a good accuracy and discrimination with a high value of clinical application.

PURPOSE@#Hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures still represent a challenge to trauma surgeons and have a very high mortality. This study was designed to explore the effect of the interventions of direct preperitoneal pelvic packing for the hemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures.@*METHODS@#This retrospective study enrolled 67 cases of severe pelvic fractures with unstable hemodynamics from October 2011 to December 2019. All patients presented in our emergency center and received preperitoneal pelvic packing were included in this study. The indication was persistent systolic blood pressure ≤90 mmHg during initial resuscitation and after transfusion of two units of red blood cells. Patients with hemodynamic stability who need no preperitoneal pelvic packing to control bleeding were excluded. Their demographic characteristics, clinical features, laboratory results, therapeutic interventions, adverse events, and prognostic outcomes were collected from digital information system of electronic medical records. Statistics were described as mean ± standard deviation or medium and analyzed using pair sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test.@*RESULTS@#The patients' average age was 41.6 years, ranging from 10 to 88 years. Among them, 45 cases were male (67.2%) and 22 cases were female (32.8%). Significant difference was found regarding the systolic blood pressure (mmHg) in the emergency department (78.4 ± 13.9) and after preperitoneal pelvic packing in the surgery intensive care unit (100.1 ± 17.6) (p < 0.05). Simultaneously, the arterial base deficit (mmol/L) were significantly lower in the surgery intensive care unit (median -6, interquartile range -8 to -2) than in the emergency department (median -10, interquartile range -14 to -8) (p < 0.05). After preperitoneal pelvic packing, 15 patients (22.4%) underwent pelvic angiography for persistent hypotension or suspected ongoing haemorrhage. The overall mortality rate was 29.5% (20 of 67).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Preperitoneal pelvic packing, as a useful surgical technique, is less invasive and can be very efficient in early intra-pelvic bleed control.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of emergency inguinal hernia.Methods:The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. The clinical data of 236 patients with emergency inguinal hernia who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2015 to May 2020 were collected. There were 194 males and 42 females, aged (69±30)years. Hospitalized patients received routine blood biochemistry test and imaging examinations for evaluation of characteristics of hernia contents and intestinal obstruction. Manual reduction and surgical treatment were selected according to the conditions of patients. Observation indicators: (1) treatment; (2) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect hernia recurrence and late-onset mesh infection up to August 2020. Measurement data were described as M (range) or M ( P25, P75), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Count data were represented as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was done using the chi-square test. Results:(1) Treatment: of the 236 patients, 106 cases had successful manual reduction, 124 cases underwent emergency operation, 6 cases refused surgery. ① For 106 cases with successful manual reduction (including 4 cases guided by B-ultrasonography), the manual reduction time was 5 minutes (2 minutes,7 minutes). Ninety-three of 106 patients underwent selective operation after manual reduction, including 89 cases with indirect hernia, 2 cases with direct hernia and 2 cases with compound hernia. The time to selective operation was 3 days(2 days,5 days) after manual reduction. Patients underwent mesh repair, of which the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, time to postoperative first flatus, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 44 minutes (29 minutes, 66 minutes),10 mL(5 mL,20 mL), 1 day(1 day,2 days), 1 day(1 day,2 days), respectively. Eleven patients didn't undergo selective operation. Two patients with abdominal pain and fever after manual reduction were diagnosed with perforation of intestine by emergency surgical exploration, and then underwent partial intestinal resection combined with high ligation of hernial sac. ② There were 93 of 124 patients undergoing emergency operation with indirect hernia, 18 cases with femoral hernia, 6 cases with obturator hernia, 6 cases with compound hernia and 1 case with direct hernia. There were 54 of 124 patients undergoing open operation, including 21 cases with Bassini surgery, 18 cases with Lichtenstein surgery, 9 cases with Mc Vay surgery, 6 cases with high ligation of hernia sac. There were 70 patients undergoing laparoscopic operation, including 57 cases with laparoscopic transperitoneal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP), 10 cases with laparoscopic explora-tion + tissue repair and 3 cases with laparoscopic exploration + closure of inner inguinal ring. The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, time to postoperative first flatus, cases with short-term postoperative complications were 60 minutes (50 minutes,76 minutes), 20 mL(14 mL,30 mL), 2 days(1 day,2 days), 15 cases for patients undergoing open surgery, respectively. The above indicators were 56 minutes (47 minutes,77 minutes), 20 mL(10 mL,25 mL), 2 days(1 day,2 days), 21 cases for patients under-going laparoscopic surgery. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=?0.88, ?1.37, ?1.56, χ2=0.07, P>0.05). Cases with intraoperative placement of mesh and duration of hospital stay were 18 cases and 5 days(3 days,8 days) for patients undergoing open surgery, versus 57 cases and 3 days(2 days,5 days) for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, showing significant differences between the two groups ( χ2=29.50, Z=?4.32, P<0.05). (2) Follow-up: of 236 patients, 192 were followed up for 2?60 months, with a median follow-up time of 19 months. Seven patients had recurrence of hernia after emergency operation, including 3 with high ligation of the hernia sac, 2 with Bassini surgery, 1 with Lichtenstein surgery, and 1 with laparoscopic exploration + closure of inner inguinal ring. One patient with late-onset mesh infection after Lichtenstein surgery was improved after mesh removal. No long-term complications such as hernia recurrence or late-onset mesh infection occurred to the 184 patients. Conclusions:Emergency inguinal hernia had different state of illness, manual reduction is suitable for partial patients with incarceration. Surgery is the first choice, and the surgical procedure needs to be individually selected.
ABSTRACT
Background: Incisional hernias repair being done in large numbers there is still not a consensus about the best repair. Very few studies have been done on comparison open and laparoscopic incisional hernia repair.Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was undertaken in Department of Surgery of Civil Hospital. The study included total 50 patients, out of which 25 patients underwent open approach and rest of 25 patients, underwent laparoscopic approach. Patients were assigned to both the groups randomly.Results: Pain, duration of post-operative stay, and return to routine work is earlier in patients with laparoscopic repair mainly due to decreased pain, fewer complications, early mobility and faster return of bowel movements. Laparoscopic repair is more expensive and operative time is more as compared to open method.Conclusions: Keeping in view the advantages and limitations of laparoscopic repair, the choice among two surgical modalities should be made on a case to case basis depending on patient preference and characteristics.
ABSTRACT
An urachal cyst anomaly occurs in approximately 1/5,000 births. Its treatment is surgical excision. We present a case report of 16-year-old female with presenting complaints of lower abdominal pain with burning micturition and increased urinary frequency. Computed tomography revealed a 40×38 mm low-density cyst image located in midline cranial to the bladder apex, suggesting the diagnosis of urachal cyst. Traditional open surgery was used for its excision, but now minimally invasive approaches have been used more frequently to minimize the morbidity. We did a trans-abdominal preperitoneal approach, which aided in both the purpose of diagnostic laparoscopy and also utilize the advantage of preperitoneal surgery.
ABSTRACT
Background: Chronic groin pain (inguinodynia) following inguinal hernia repair is a significant, though under-reported problem. Mild pain lasting for a few days is common following mesh inguinal hernia repair. However, moderate to severe pain persisting more than 3 months after inguinal herniorrhaphy should be considered as pathological. The main aim of this study was to assess the incidence of inguinodynia in inguinal hernia repair patients at a tertiary centre.Methods: This non-randomized retrospective study was undertaken in the department of general surgery, SMIMER Hospital, Surat, Gujarat, India from August 2016 to July 2019. Total 940 patients were operated for inguinal hernia repair during this period. Out of these 940 patients, only 460 patients could be traced for clinical evaluation as Surat is an industrial city with very high percentage of migrant population and so only, they were included in the study.Results: In this study, total 460 patients were included, in which 310 patients were operated for open inguinal hernia repair and 150 patients were operated for laparoscopic hernia repair. Total 102 (22.17%) patients has developed inguinodynia out of 460 patients evaluated in this series. Incidence of inguinodynia is more in open inguinal hernia repair than laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair i.e., 24.83% versus 16.67%. Incidence of testicular complication in inguinodynia patients is more in open inguinal hernia repair and non in laparoscopic repair.Conclusions: Authors conclude that overall incidence of inguinodynia is 22.17% and incidence of inguinodynia is higher in open hernia repair in comparison to laparoscopic hernia repair (24.83% versus 16.67%). The incidence of mild inguinodynia is approximately eight times more common than severe inguinodynia.
ABSTRACT
Background: Hernia is a common problem of the modern world with an incidence ranging from 5 to 7%. Of all groin hernias, around 75% are inguinal hernias. Recently with the advancement in laparoscopy, endoscopic repairs seem to offer better quality of life, decreasing hospital stay and early return to work. Aim of the work was to evaluate a new technique for mesh fixation by Zein method of suturing and compare it with stapled mesh fixation in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair transabdominal preperitoneal approach.Methods: The study is a randomized, prospective single group study. The study was conducted after the approval of the ethical committee of the surgical department, Menoufia University. It was conducted in Menoufia University Hospital on 50 patients with inguinal hernia who were operated upon between September 2018 and September 2019 with a minimal follow-up of 6 months.Results: Age of studied patients ranged from 27 to 55 years with mean 42.82±7.90 age/years. Regarding sex of studied patients, more than half (74%) of studied patients were males and (26%) were females. Regarding comparsion between high and low overall cost burden on the patient, it was interestingly found that high cost is associated with presence of complication like hematoma, prolonged stay in the hospital and prolonged use of antibiotics.Conclusions: Both the use of sutures and fixation of mesh by absorbable tacks approaches are similarly effective in terms of operative time, the incidence of recurrence, complications, and chronic pain coinciding with all the available literature.
ABSTRACT
Background: An important part of the procedures for admission to emergency surgery is incarcerated inguinal hernia repair. Minimally invasive surgical procedures have led surgeons to perform these operations laparoscopically. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the safety of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in patients admitted to the emergency department with incarcerated inguinal hernia.Methods: The files of patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for incarcerated inguinal hernia between January 2015 and June 2019 in Bandirma State Hospital General Surgery Clinic was retrospectively reviewed. Pearson Chi-Square test was used as statistical method. Version 18 of the SPSS program was used. P<0.05 was considered significant as it should be.Results: A total of 63 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 52.8 years. A total of 64 repairs were performed on the right side in 41 (65%) cases, on the left side in 21 (33.3%) cases and on both sides in one (1.58%) case. Four (6.25%) of 63 patients had strangulation. Three of these patients (4.68%) had strangulated hernia, and one (1.56%) had strangulated and incarcerated hernia. Four patients (6.25%) presented with ileus. The mean operation time was 65 minutes (35-110 minutes). Mean duration of hospitalization was 2.4 days. The rate of minor complications was 4.68%. Only one (1.56%) major complication was iatrogenic small intestinal perforation. The mean follow-up time was 25.2 months. There was no early recurrence in patients.Conclusions: We suggest that laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair can be performed safely in emergency procedures in patients with incarcerated inguinal hernia.
ABSTRACT
Background: Inguinal mesh hernioplasty is one of the common procedures performed all over the world. It can be done either through open or laparoscopic techniques. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty versus laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) mesh repair considering, duration of the surgery, hospital stay, and duration to resume normal activity, degree of postoperative pain, wound infection, recurrence and complications.Methods: Adult patients presented to the general surgical OPD, with the diagnosis of inguinal hernia underwent either Lichtenstein repair or laparoscopic repair by TAPP.Results: Patients in Group A (open-repair) had significantly greater level of local pain during rest and during routine activities than those within Group B (laparoscopic group) during the postoperative period assessed on the visual-analogue scale. Mean operative time for open hernia repair was 43.7 minutes and for laparoscopic hernia repair was 59.03 minutes and the difference were statistically significant (p=0.0001). The mean duration of hospital stay for open hernia repair was 2.16 days and that for laparoscopic hernia repair was 1.08 days with a (p=0.00001) which was statistically significant. The time to resume routine activities was much shorter among Group B patients than patients in Group A. Only one recurrence (3.3%) was seen in Group B after 6 months follow up.Conclusions: It is concluded that laparoscopic TAPP repair of inguinal hernia in adults is safe and preferred operation as compared to open inguinal hernia repair.
ABSTRACT
Background: Transabdominal pre-peritoneal repair is a wellaccepted method of inguinal hernia repair involving bothoptions of fixation or non-fixation of mesh. Objective was toanalyse the comparison between mesh fixation versus nomesh fixation in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair– TAPP, interms of: operative time, post-operative pain, length of hospitalstay and recurrence.Materials and Methods: This prospective randomised studywas conducted on a sample of 30 male patients whounderwent TAPP inguinal hernia repair. 15 of these underwentfixation and the remaining 15 with non-fixation of mesh.Results: Mesh fixation increases postoperative pain andoperative time. No difference observed in terms of hospital staybetween the 2 groups. Fixation doesn’t prevent recurrence.Conclusion: Mesh non -fixation can be utilised as a safe andeffective approach in TAPP hernia repair.
ABSTRACT
El objetivo del presente trabajo es reportar y analizar nuestra experiencia con la técnica endoscópica transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) en el tratamiento de la hernia inguinal. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo mediante la revisión de nuestra base de datos electrónica y las historias clínicas en físico de la Clínica Santa Sofía, de los pacientes con diagnóstico de hernia inguinal tratados por los autores en los últimos 8 años. Se incluyeron para el análisis los casos con abordaje laparoscópico, recolectándose sexo, edad, diagnóstico pre e intraoperatorio, procedimientos adicionales, tiempo quirúrgico, complicaciones perioperatorias, tiempo de hospitalización, y morbilidad. Resultados: Se recolectaron 158 intervenciones de hernias inguinales en 102 pacientes, 89 hombres y 13 mujeres, de las cuales 135 (85,4%) fueron por abordaje laparoscópico tipo TAPP. Mediante la laparoscopia se modificó el diagnóstico preoperatorio en 17 pacientes (16.6%). El tiempo quirúrgico promedio fue de 50,5±11,6 minutos, y se presentaron 3 complicaciones perioperatorias y 4 tardías, para una morbilidad total de 5,1%. La estancia hospitalaria fue de 1±0,08 días y el tiempo de seguimiento promedio fue de 7,5±15,4 meses, detectándose 3 recidivas (2,2%) en ese período. Cinco pacientes presentaron dolor crónico posoperatorio, ninguno debilitante, que cedió gradualmente en todos los casos utilizando analgésicos comunes. Conclusiones: La técnica TAPP es una alternativa válida en el tratamiento de la hernia inguinal. Sus principales ventajas son las de optimizar el diagnóstico, permitiendo la reparación en un solo tiempo de hernias no diagnosticadas clínicamente, y su baja incidencia de dolor posoperatorio crónico(AU)
Currently the Lichtenstein technique is the most used worldwide for inguinal hernia repair, however, the laparoscopic approach has been gaining ground in recent years. The objective of the present work is to present and analyze our experience with the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) technique for the treatment of this pathology.Methods: A retrospective study by the revision of our electronic database and the Santa Sofía clinic physical medical records, of the patients with groin hernia diagnosis treated by the authors in the last 8 years. The cases with the laparoscopic approach were included, collecting sex, age, pre and intraoperative diagnosis, additional procedures, surgical time, perioperative complications, hospital stay, and morbidity.Results : A 158 inguinal hernia repairs were collected in 102 patients, 87 males, and 13 females, of which 135 (85.4%) were through laparoscopic approach TAPP type. By means of laparoscopy, the preoperative diagnosis was modified in 17 patients (16.6%). Mean surgical time was 50.5±11.6 minutes, and 3 perioperative complications and 4 late complications were observed, for total morbidity of 5.1%. Hospital stay was 1±0.08 days, and mean follow-up was 7.5±15.4 months, detecting 3 recurrences (2.2%) at that time. Five patients presented chronic postoperative pain, none debilitating, which gradually yielded in all cases by common pain relievers.Conclusions : The TAPP technique is a valid alternative for the treatment of an inguinal hernia. Its main advantages are to optimize the diagnosis, allowing the repair of clinically undiagnosed hernias in one surgical time, and its low incidence of chronic postoperative pain(AU)

Objective@#To investigate the effects of treatment of hernia sac stump in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (TAPP) on postoperative seroma.@*Methods@#The prospective study was conducted. The clinical data of 128 male patients with primary indirect inguinal hernia who were admitted to Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from October 2017 to March 2019 were selected. Patients were divided into two groups by random number method. Patients in experimental group had hernia sac stump sutured and fixed at the lower margin of rectus abdominis after transection of hernia sac in TAPP, and patients in control group had hernia sac stump free in the abdominal cavity after dissection and transection of hernia sac in TAPP. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was conducted to detect the incidence of postoperative seroma, incision infection, chronic pain, and hernia recurrence up to June 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was done using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), and comparison between groups was done using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers and percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test.@*Results@#A total of 128 male patients were screened for eligibility, including 60 patients in the experimental group and 68 patients in the control group. The 128 patients were aged from 47 to 74 years, with an average age of 61 years. (1) Surgical situations: operation time and hospital expenses were (102±34)minutes and (12 813±2 390)yuan for the experimental group, and (97±30)minutes and (12 125±2 205)yuan for the control group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups (t=0.907, 1.685, P>0.05). (2) Follow-up: all the 128 patients received follow-up. There were 8 cases of seroma in both the experimental group and the control group, with no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=0.072, P>0.05). The extraction volume of patients with seroma was 20 mL (range, 4-31 mL) in the experimental group, and 43 mL (range, 23-98 mL) in the control group, showing a significant difference between the two groups (Z=-2.013, P<0.05). There was no incision infection, chronic pain or hernia recurrence in 3 months after operation in patients with seroma of either experimental group or control group.@*Conclusions@#During TAPP, suture and fixation of the hernia sac stump to the lower edge of rectus abdominis and free hernia sac stump in the abdominal cavity after dissection and transection of hernia sac can effectively repair indirect inguinal hernia. The former method can reduce the extraction volume of seroma after operation.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the efficacy of relieving the postoperation pain by using mesh to stuture and fixate tissue during transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP) in inguinal hernia patients.@*Metholds@#A retrospective analysis of 156 patients with inguinal hernia who underwent TAPP in Nanhai Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from January 2016 to January 2017 was conducted, they were males, the average age was 50.84 years and the age range was from 33 to 62 years. Patients were divided into sacral nail group (n=120) and absorbable line group (n=36) according to the different methods of fixation of the iliac crest. Among them, the patients in the sacral nail group were fixed with iliac screws, and the patients in the absorbable line group were sutured with absorbable sutures. Pain visual analog scale (VAS) was used to compare the extent of postoperative pain in both groups. After the operation, through the outpatient review and telephone follow-up for 1 year, observed the recurrence of inguinal hernia in both groups. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean±SD), t-test was used for comparison between groups; the Chi-square test was used to compare the count data between the two groups.@*Results@#Among them, 19 patients with moderate pain after operation in the nail group had an incidence of 15.8%. Two patients with moderate pain in the absorbable line group had an incidence of 5.6%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=2.511, P=0.013). The pain VAS of the patients in the sacral nail group was (3.08±1.36), and the absorbable line group was (2.50±0.91), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=2.973, P=0.001). All patients had no recurrence after outpatient review and telephone follow-up for 1 year.@*Conclusion@#In TAPP, the application of absorbable suture fixed patch can effectively reduce postoperative pain.
