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.
